I think I forgot to post this before...

So here I am, my first time camping alone. All’s going well so far, aside from being slightly disillusioned with friends. Oh well, I am happy to have my alone time. Not to mention I am a little scared being out here in the woods all alone. Bla bla, you know. I’m not concerned, because I have a knife next to me. And I have taken other precautions. But I don’t know why someone would stumble upon me. Dinner was good, the fire started quickly. I hope for the same tomorrow, since I was silly enough to leave all the firestarters and wood outside. Might be a little damp tomorrow, but maybe not. Nonetheless, I have food that doesn’t need to be cooked, so I should be alright. I am a little scared of bears, I’ll admit. LOL
I can hear people wooing at Hiawatha. Maybe I would go to hear the music if I knew who was playing and had a flashlight, since I’m so far away from the designated campsite, but I’m not really interested. I just chose today because there’d be a lot of people around if I needed them. And the music sounds fine from here. The night is much less interesting than the day, and darned if I’m not already tired at 11:30p. But I have been walking all day. I got in, got my wristband, found my campsite.
They were already out of tent spots or whatever they are, and the lady who sold me my wristband asked me like three times to make sure I wasn’t going to set up a tent. But I lied mwa ha. Instead I just walked way away, set my stuff up on the mountain ROTC uses for balaying or whatever the word is. Walked through the woods to find a parking spot closer to my campsite. Found a little drive that cops must use, and drove my car there and brought in the rest of my stuff, cooler and such.
Set up my tent and bag, grabbed firewood, grabbed stones to create a ring, took some pictures, hiked around, met some friends and random kids from Marquette that were really cool. They took me and whoever else was brave enough through these crevice caves in a rock mountain nearby. It was fucking awesome and exhilarating and damn scary, I’ll admit. Okay, it is bed time. Good night!
