Once we arrived at the campground we immediately felt at home.  The area reminded me of childhood camping trips of past, with familiar rv’s, bamboo mats shoved under picnic tables, and a warm family feeling.  We slowly drove through the area, admiring the other campsites and the forest surrounding us.

After passing through an open area we approached the campground and were immediately impressed by the view.  The air was crisp and the vibrant lily pads and flowers rested delicately on the surface of the water.  The campfire rested on the edge of the lake and boasted a picturesque view of the open area ahead of us

Cooking while at a campsite can take on many different forms.  Most commonly, people roast meats and sweet treats over a campfire, enjoying their spider dogs and marshmallows.  Jay used a smoker to cook us an incredible meal.  The fire crackled into the afternoon and the smell of spices, basil and smoke filled the air.
