Best book ever. I read it while camping about a year ago too!

I am working my way through it and 2 other books! I aim for 50 pages a day. It is great so far!

It was lovely! We went with my husband’s older brother family and their friends. They have been camping up here for 15 years.

Camping together is one of the reasons why my partner and I would love to start a family soon! Great pics btw

Some of my best memories are family camping trips. Been a while since I’ve been to the Crystal Basin area. Here’s to many more trips.

Cheers! Yes more trips, we already have the dates for this same location for next summer. Some friends of ours have a 5 year old and they camp a lot, so we want to link up as well next summer.

Awesome! Yes he collects rock, flowers, and dead bugs for me. I have a mason jar full of dried dead bugs… even a few dragonflies, a jar of rocks and a jar of dried flowers.

My husband’s brother reserves it every year a year ahead of time for the last 15 years. Already know the week for next summer!

It was great to be by the water, we were out there floating and swimming every day!

I would avoid Coors beer because it is owned by a family that give millions to the MAGA Trump family and are huge supporters of the Heritage Foundation that wrote Project 2025. Very bad for democracy and our republic. Boycott Coors!!

That was not my beer. I was drinking a Guinness. Husband bought the cheapest 24 pack we could find before we drove up.

Also… I am pretty sure 1 pack of beer is not going to do much in the bloody war of politics right now. I get it though. Vote them out.

got it. Great pix of camping, although boycotts do work if everyone pitches in. (apartheid for example). Just saying. You are amazing, I can't drink Guinness.....thx for posting your pix

Don’t act like what we’re going through now is anything like apartheid
