Camping Adventures

This past weekend a group of friends and Matt and I decided to unwind from summer classes by taking a small camping trip and getting away from town. No it wasn't one of those typical, get-so-drunk-you-can't-stand camping trips, it was a legitimate, calming (sort of, at least), only bring a little alcohol camping trips. Remember that house I showed you last time? We went back in that area and showed our friends the house. This time I actually got pictures!

old fireplace, looks like it was put to good usethe staircase was in surprisingly good condition, we thought we were going to fall through a number of times!at the top of the stairs was a large "room" with two mattresses a window on one side and a door-frame on the other

I thought this was a really interesting find, it was in a nearby structure that used to be another house
I found this little broken piece of pottery in a different nearby building (check out that macro action, you like that? eh? eh? I though you might ;))

Camping

Matt and I decided to go camping Friday night. We drove out to Water Canyon, half way between here and Magdalena, drove past all the park-and-camp sites, parked his truck and took our backpacks in maybe half an hour, not too far since we got kind of a late start in leaving.

We saw a really cool old house from the late 1800s or early 1900s and of course had to go explore. I did not have a camera with me when we went to explore, but I got pictures of it on the way out on Saturday.

We found a nice little clearing, set up the tent under an overhanging tree and got to work on the fire so that we could cook some tofurky keilbasa (very delicious, I was even a little surprised) and roasted marshmallows, baked a potato and just relaxed away from all the people and civilization of our little rinky dink town. We will definitely be doing this again!
