We had a wonderful camping trip this weekend, we spent some time in the Kettle Morain Forest that is about an hour an a half away from here. We had a good time haging out with friends, and got to do some hiking and fishing too. But I wanted to share some of the differences that we noticed from camping out west.
1. The elevation of home and where your camping is always going to be the same.
2. Your scenic drive to the State Forest includes farmland and cows.
3. Wild animals spotted: deer, birds, and wild turkey.
4. You don't have to worry about sleeping on any sharp rocks or hard ground, grass is a plentiful.
5. Never before have I been invited to play beer pong while camping.
6. While hiking you also don't change elevation.
7. The state forest used to be a logging area.
a. We hiked a bit on the old logging road.
b. We also noticed that the trail had been mowed
c. And most distubing was that the trees were planted by man, in rows...
I did find some flowers there though
And of course we went fishing at this cute little pond (Brad's favorite acitvity)

Isaac and I had so much fun camping. We will have to do it again sometime soon.
what beautiful pictures! taylor and i are yet to go camping or hiking here yet. and that beer pong sounds intriguing...
Yeh, camping/hiking outside of the west is DEFINITELY a different experience! I still feel a little funny saying that we're going "hiking" around here. Is it really hiking if the ground is flat? :)
OOOO camping!!! We want to go camping so bad, but just haven't had time. How fun for you, and glad to hear you have Brad back in your life!! No more lonely road trips!! Hehe!
you passed up beer pong? come on!
Ryan and I died laughing when we read your post. We totally understand! But your pictures were gorgeous, which I think is the most important part of hiking! (Not that the pictures are gorgeous, but that the place is)
