We took a trip to my cousin's camp over the weekend. I thought we would be there for a few hours, but instead ended up staying there way into the night.
No electricity, no water lines - but there was a neat outhouse. A mirror on the outside wall, a shelf with wash pan and towel - what more could you ask for. It is even lit up at night with a solar light.
My cousins and I went for a walk into the deep dark woods. Here we are at the bottom of the steep hill (which we had just climbed down) contemplating the path ahead of us.
Lots of neat woodland scenery along the way...

We had a fun time climbing beneath the rocks...
We checked for snakes before posing for these pictures...
After our walk in the woods, we climbed up the hill back to the camp. There was a campfire waiting for us.
We all had a great time with family and friends. When darkness fell, we sat around the fire and told family ghost stories! A great way to end the day.

ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful place for a family outing! Beautiful rock formations, covered with the moss, and how thoughtful to have the outhouse prepared for visitors.
ReplyDeleteLooks like fun. It has been to long since the last time I have been camping.

What a pretty setting to explore, it looks like you had a fun weekend. And those woods and rock formations also look like an exciting setting for a story :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat place! I'm glad you got to go-and had a good time too : )
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great time! I love sitting around a fire with family.
ReplyDeleteI love that place. Those rocks are something else. I love the outdoors, but was never a fan of camping. Glad you enjoyed yourself..
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place for a walk in the woods! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteAT last. I shared my comment on facebook because I could not get this to come up. Now, here it is.
ReplyDeleteLoved the post and the pictures. Of course I love beautiful WV.
Blessings, B
Looks like you had a great day! I don't blame you for checking for snakes, LOL~they are always my main concern when the temp is warm and I'm walking anywhere not completely cleared out!
ReplyDeleteThey certainly found a beautiful place to camp.
Hi Janet, how fun! You look so vibrant and happy! What a lovely camp fire. I am hoping to go visit my niece's campsite next week and spend the day. She and a group of friends are going to camp along the beach on one of the islands just off shore. I am longing for a day outside in the fresh air and hearing the ocean again! Have a great evening ahead! Delisa :)
ReplyDeleteI can see what a great time you had!
ReplyDeleteOoo, I love camping and being out in nature. What gorgeous pictures!
ReplyDeleteMy kids and I walked at a local park last week, and I stepped on a snake! Sometimes nature can be too nature-y, you know!
No better way than to spend the day outdoors and with family. This is pretty scenery.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful outing to the woods, and to see friends! Wow, a solar powered outhouse! What a great idea. Sounds like a wonderful day and I loved the pictures!
ReplyDeleteJanet...
ReplyDeleteI left a comment earlier about how we enjoyed it too. Somehow it showed up with the other "apron comments" I said maybe I need to blame it on the ghost here in the house...it is the new moon. Let's do it again...soon. We might have to bundle up this time and build a bigger campfire.

That looks like my kind of place! I love walking in the woods AND sitting around the fire enjoying eachother's company.
