We decided to go camping over labor day weekend. It was probably the best camping trip I've taken in years. I didn't pack as much as normal, didn't make as many food items, and it made it so much less stressful. We even ate out on our first night camping! We had three days to boat and relax and do nothing. We would take the boat out on Lake Shasta, anchor it and just laze around either in the boat or in the water. No hurry to launch our boat or to get back camping. So nice! The campground was so full and pretty loud at night with all the partying, but I didn't really mind. We also had to watch out for bears and keep all our stuff in the locked storage areas. I think that's part of what was so relaxing, everything was always kept put away and we cleaned immediately due to the bears, so we had more time to just have fun. One of the nights we heard somebody set off some fireworks. Turns out some teenagers were up to no good and one of them blew up an outhouse toilet. A witness saw him walk out of the outhouse with crap all over him from head to toe, so besides all the fines and possible jail time and such, he really got his just rewards! LOL We stayed until Tuesday and let me tell you, on Monday it was a ghost town! We were in the last camping area and the only other ones left camping were the hosts at the beginning of the camp ground. It kind of made for a sleepless night. We would wake up thinking either a bear was visiting (happened to us once before) or an ax murderer! LOL It's amazing what your mind thinks up when you're mostly asleep. ;)
