Aug 27, 2008 10:04

I took last Friday off work to go camping with: smokes_outside, darcymercer, rowdyllama, coralcoralcoral, fakesharkstore, codycallon, mikesleckyesq, KC!, Joe & Marina!

The whole trip could probably be summed up with the words: FOUR SQUARE!, A WHOLE LOT OF FOOD!, SCOOBY SNACKS!, PHOSPHORESCENCE! and CAMPFIRES!

:) thanks!

I really need to get out and do more fun B.C. things.. we're talking about going zip trekking soon with people from work, there are just so many good things to do around here! I've never even been to the suspension bridge!

The day I found out that my grandmother had died, a few years ago, I was on Galiano at film camp. Amazingly, another girl in my group had learned 45 minutes earlier that her grandfather had died. That night a few of us piled into a van, drove to a beach, and lit a little fire in a cave. We jumped into the ocean and there was phosphorescence. It was a starry night and I was there with some completely amazing people.

It was one of the most beautiful experiences of my life. I'd swum in phosphorescence before, but that was really something special.

wow.. that would be so intense..and probably really soothing for the soul.

I know I've had some completely magical experiences on long west coast beaches. On the first trip I ever took with a boyfriend we ended up on the beach in front of Frank Island in Tofino and there were so many shallow tidal pools and so many stars out that you couldn't tell where the beach ended and where the sky started (cheesy, but it really did look that way.)
That was the same trip I saw phosphorescence for the first time and it blew my mind.

this makes me want to go camping so bad!
and a little creepy, but seriously my favorite outfit last fall was that cranberry aa sweatshirt, grey jeans and dark brown mocs. hahaha.

that was the first time I've been since last year and it TOTALLY made me want to go again soon. I wish there were more awesome camping spots that were closer though!

hilarious outfit twin. Do you have a picture? That would be amazing... seriously though, what a perfect match for grey jeans.. cranberry & brown :)

The beach looks SO COLD but you're all in shorts and t-shirts! Were you just determined to make it a summer experience or was it really not as cold as it looks?

I love that there was a coffee shop at the campsite LOL. On a rainy camping trip though I kinda think that would be nice to have.
Overall though I'm definitely a "do your business in the woods 'cause we're twenty minutes away from an outhouse" kind of camper.

It seriously wasn't cold! (you know how I am with cold) I even ended up trying to skim board~!

Yeah, I think we all were hoping for a bit more of a wilderness experience, but the last night there worked out really well. Maybe next time we'll do some bushwhacking and just set up camp somewhere out of the way...
