Four Days of Tent Camping ...a first!




We spent the 4th of July tent camping this year.....this is a first for us! It is way too hot and muggy to ever tent camp in the south. We went to Lake Alva, MT for this adventure. Roger and Nick's first task was to go up a day early to scout out a site that would be spacious enough for 4 tents. They wound their way north of Seeley Lake (where we normally go to the lake) about 10 miles to Lake Alva. It was SO nice there and much more secluded. We had a great camp site (which would have been perfect, had it not been for one inconsiderate bunch of Maggotfest fans who partied until the wee hours (like 3 or 4 a.m.) Ugh. But all in all, we really had a blast and we are looking forward to our next camping trip. Unfortunately though, right after this trip, they banned campfires (due to the threat of wildfire)......so we sure dont want to go camping if we can't have a fire....we may just have to wait until later in the season.

Our next adventure this Saturday will be to ride the Hiawatha trail! This year we can use our own bikes, and I even bought headlights today so we don't even have to rent lights. This will be fun!!!

We love to tent camp! Unfortunately, I've been watching too much Court TV with weirdos attacking campers/hikers. Freakin' me out, I tell ya!! Loved the pictures. Thanks for updating :) The Trail looks like it'll be a blast :)
