After having such a good time last year, we decided to head back to Jim Thorpe for another
fall car camping trip. Like last year we stayed at the Jim Thorpe
campground ( Jim Thorpe, PA.
).

This wasn't as ambitious a
trip for some of us as it was last year. After spending the last
month dealing
with buying cars and houses, Jen and I decided to
relax around the campfire saturday instead of go hiking
all around the Lehigh valleys.
|
 |
J thought relaxing was an
excellent idea and stayed at camp with
us.
|
 |
Once we got the fire good and
stoked, we could sit back and enjoy some beers.

Heavy contemplation is a
great companion to a nice cold can of
Pabst.

With a Yuengling Black &
Tan, the best you can do is pretend you're in
heavy contemplation.

Our campsite was next to a
Trout hatchery, which in itself isn't very exciting, though this
sign at the
hatchery spillway was interesting. What is it about
baby trout that makes the water toxic? Some guy
came along
to feed them, but looked like he'd spent a little too much time in
the water himself to risk
asking him what it
meant.

Sunday morning it was
Jeff and Sarah's job to make breakfast for everyone. They made the
tastiest
pancakes I'd ever had. They were actually crispy along
the edges. Jeff also did a great job on the bacon.
It's not easy
getting bacon just right and so much
of it
- exactly 2.5 pieces
per person.

Packing up to head home. It's important to get all
the dirt out of your tent before you pack it
up.
