Camping and Rafting

A few weeks ago, Troy and I went camping with the Lerchs. It was my first time camping since I was a little girl I think. We went up to the area where Georgia, North Carolina, and Tennessee meet. Before we left I made sure they had picked out a campsite with running water and working toilets. I had one planned just in case, but I was assured that our campsite had all the amenities. Wouldn't you know....it had running water, but no working toilets, only outhouses. I was not very happy about this. We ended up not getting there until late because we got lost a few times on the way. So we had to get everything set up in the dark. I brought an air mattress and a hand pump. After pumping forever and not getting anywhere, I had Troy try it. It took us forever and it was such a pain. As soon as we finished guess what we found......an electrical outlet!! We had the plug in pump also, but didn't know about this outlet. We had fun though, and had delicious food. For both dinner and breakfast they cooked onions, potatoes, and ground beef in a skillet. I loved it. Then the next day we packed everything back up and headed down the road to go white water rafting. I had only gone once before, and that was when I working at the camp in Maine. This river (I think it was the Ocoee River) had the most class IV rapids in a five mile stretch than any other river. I had soooo much fun. I love white water rafting. The water was freezing, but we got use to it after a while. Once we got done with rafting we headed back home. The trip was too short--hopefully we will get to do another one soon.
