1st Camping Trip of 2008

The weather has been so beautiful down here for the last week. We decided to go camping on the Rogue River, near Galice, on Saturday after we got all of our chores done. We packed our tent, sleeping bags, hobos (tin-foil stew you cook in the fire), and bottle of wine (I forgot the camera) and made the hour drive north. Our spot was set above the river, in between doug firs. It was so nice. The temperature was perfect. We just wore a long sleeve shirt by the fire. Dinner and wine were great. We opened a bottle of Cab Sav (Next by King Estates, thanks Kimballs!) and enjoyed the sound of the river and the moon shadows surrounding us.
Sunday morning we made some gluten free grits for breakfast and did a 4 mile hike/trail run down to Rainy Falls. It was chilly. Then we headed home. We picked up groceries for the week. Such a fun and productive weekend.
When we got home we rode our bikes 4 miles to our favorite local winery, Weisingers. It was a great way to enjoy the rest of the beautiful day.
Have a great week. Cheers!

Great to be in a tent outdoors again, wasn't it?! Yes, you'd like Marin. We'll have to get down there to ride--it's a great destination when it's just a little too cold up north to be outdoors.
