I know, that's not all too entirely geek-centric, but luckily, as I stopped for gas before hitting the road, I was digging into my backpack to grab my wallet when I found a certain little stowaway. I think he got left behind when I brought a bunch of my vintage Kenner Star Wars figures to work. Well, lucky for him, because it looks like good ol' Snaggletooth is going camping!
We had a good time rocking out to my Pandora Metallica playlist during the 3 hour drive into the National Forrest Preserve.
When we arrived, we found that the majority of the group who had come a day earlier had all gone fishing, so the place was deserted...
Fine by us, since we used that time to get the tent set up. He wasn't a whole lot of help, but he did a good job of supervising...
We did all kinds of fun stuff over the next five days. Like hiking...
Sitting by the campfire...
Snacking on beef jerky...
Take a dip in the river. It was sooooo cold!
For lunch, we grilled hot dogs over the fire...
And slathered them with cream cheese, the Seattle way...
We did a lot of sitting around in our camp chairs, joking and laughing. Snags found one that matched his outfit...
And I can't lie, he had a couple of brewskis. What the heck. It's camp.
He had a lot of fun playing with the dogs until they were worn out from all the adventure...
We even built him a little house!
And there was lots of snacking...
Every night, tired and smelling like wood smoke, we hit the sack in our sleeping bags to get a good night's sleep in the fresh air...
It was one heck of a trip for this little guy and as much as we were all looking forward to getting back home and taking showers, it was a little sad to say goodbye to our faithful favorite campsite for another year...
But we'll be back again next year! And if he's good, I'll be sure to bring Snaggletooth along again.
