Fathers Day Camping
Posted by Mike Sylvester - 6/15/08 @ 5:36 pm - Filed Under Featured
We went camping Friday, Saturday, and today. We is my lovely wife Karena, both of my kids (Kayla who is 7 and Graydon who is 5) and Uncle Jeff (Karena’s brother).
We went to Potato Creek (About 100 miles from Fort Wayne, near South Bend) and had a great time. We pitched two small tents and enjoyed the great out of doors. The tent my wife and I stayed in is one she bought me for Valentines Day fifteen years ago when we lived in Hawaii.
Two things of note happened. The first is that the raccoons were very, very aggressive. We accidentally left out a large plastic container of trail mix. It was a large plastic container with a screw on lid. A raccoon actually dragged it into the nearby woods and spent all night getting into it. My wife slept very little since the raccoon made a lot noise while trying to chew his way into the trail mix.
This morning the area has a T-storm warning and we were warned of 60 mile an hour winds, so we bailed a little early.
All in all it was a great camping trip!
A highly recommend Potato Creek State Park!
