A change of scenery

I knew I needed to do something entirely different from my normal routine, so for spring break, I got about 8 of us together for a camping trip. The best thing about camping is that there's so much down time that you don't know what's gonna happen. After getting our tents up, we decided to jump in the lake, and that's how we met Pete. Pete was just strolling along the banks with a stick in his mouth when we called him out to us. So he swam out to us, and we threw his stick back to the shore to fetch. Kind of backwards, but Pete liked it. His owner was nowhere around, and his bark of fear of abandonment was so awful that we called the number on his tag and soon said goodbye to our new friend.

The little things continued to make it a nice evening... pick up soccer, cooking, fire-making, lantern-whatevering... as well as the crazy things... walking on fire. Somehow we "all" slept til 1030 the next morning, and then we were off to Inks Lake. The castle on the hill made for an enchanting beginning followed by the perfect 5 mile hike we needed. To cap it all off, we found Devil's Waterhole for our cliff-jumping. Slightly dangerous, but exactly what we needed. The perfect 1 night getaway.
