somewhat belated, but i spent 4th of july camping. the campground was in the los padres national forest, which was about 20 mins outside of ojai. normally i camp around some kind of body of water (ocean, lake, river...) but this campground wasn't near any water. actually there is a reservoir near by, but we didn't find out until the end of the day before we were leaving. oops! anyway, camping fashion, its like... just dirty. dirty hair, dirty shoes, dirt covered everything. so naturally we just decided to have a photoshoot, cause why not? its not like my hair is dirty or anything...
actually, it was a pretty fun camping trip - minus the lack of running water and the things that were supposed to be a bathroom (GROSS). next time i need a beach within walking distance!
i spent this past weekend camping at rock creek in the eastern sierras with my family. we camped for two nights at the east fork campground, which was beautiful. the leaves were changing color, a sign that fall may actually be coming to california. and it was cold - really, really cold! we rented a trailer from adventure in camping, mostly because setting up a tent and outdoor kitchen is a lot of work for only two nights. but my favorite part was the heater! i'm sure i would have froze to death without it!
we hiked, did some fishing (more like casting...) and just enjoyed the beautiful scenery:
rock creek is about 24 miles north of bishop, where the famous erick schat's bakery is. if you are passing through (or visiting) bishop you MUST stop here and get some kind of baked good - the original sheepherder bread is amazing. so was the pumpkin filled doughnut. yes, pumpkin filled! rock creek is now on my list of favorite camping spots, i can't wait to go back next year!
do you like camping? whats your favorite spot to camp?
p.s. being up in the sierras really makes me want to hike mt. whitney again!!
