Boulder River Camping Trip


We decided to go camping and on a hike this weekend before Jaymie cant do anymore outdoor stuff. We decided on Boulder River because it had the shortest elevation gain of the ones that we were considering. In total it was about a nine mile round trip hike. We took lots of water and food breaks so she wouldnt get too tired. This was one of the best views on the trail.

Our campsite was perfect. It had a great fire pit, a place to put the tent and a river running right behind our tent. There was also no other people near us so we didnt have to worry about the snoring of an annoying neighbor.
We did tons of things at the camp like roasting hot dogs, of course eating smores and relaxing by the river. We started our day by hiking at about 1130 and ending at 330. It was long but fun. Then we found a campsite and set everything up by 500 pm. After eating our dogs and smores by 600 we had nothing else to do. So we talked for the next 4 hours because it doesnt get dark till 1000 here in the northwest during the summer. That was really nice! A fitting end to a great day.
This is the lovely river that was right behind our campsite.

What a beautiful camping spot! Good idea to get out and hike an camp before you get any bigger and more uncomfortable. Jaymie, you still look so tiny!

Now we hiked all over Boston and the surrounding towns at about the same weeks pregnant, but how was she possibly comfortable sleeping in a tent.
