Lone Star

Lone Star, where are you out tonight (in Norah Jones voice because I carry the tune of an injured raccoon). 

This is our last camping adventure before school starts. I have now come to the realization that I have an uncanny desire to camp with the basics (self survival camping). Sort of survivor style camping. Maybe that can be our goal for next year. There's just something about being so close to nature that you feel apart of it. Of course, we will still need bikes, air mattresses, and lighter fluid.



 Time for some motorcycles!




Pretty intimidating, I know.

The evenings were nice and brisk (nice and brisk to most -- bone chilling cold with an extreme likelihood of a blizzard front moving in to me)
