Wilderness State Park

September 1997

One of our first camping trips... and we had a blast! We had enough beer and food for four days, but we managed to eat pretty much all of it in 1½ days! I didn't mind staying in a tent (we each had out own, and ours was borrowed from Timmy and Lisa), but I sure missed the comfort of a pop-up (and sleeping in the tent for a night convinced Tom that we really do have to buy a camper some day, contrary to his prior belief!). I fell off my bike on the island (the second part of our trip) when I hit a root going through the woods and flew over the handlebars...so I was quite sore and ended up taking a sick day when we got home. Little did we know this would be the first of many camping trips...
