Camping at Big Basin

Nick and I went camping last weekend with some friends. We went to Big Basin and stayed at an RV site (with no RV). It was really fun. We got there Friday afternoon around 3. After setting up the tents and exploring around a bit, we had some dinner. We had excellent BBQ. After eating, we sat around and talked while playing some instruments. Not quite sure how the time passed, but it was so nice sitting around having nothing to do! The weather was beautiful and warm. We chose an excellent weekend to go camping because it was 100 degrees in the city. After having a night of interrupted sleep (due to the hard ground), we all got up and made some breakfast. Shannon made some eggs and sausage while Kelly made a vegetarian egg dish (with tofurky)!! The above video is Nick trying to open a can of black beans with pliers!!! After we were all full from breakfast, we went walking in the river.
It was a perfect way to stay cool during the hot day. We all splashed around and had fun trying not to fall. After a few hours, we all had bruises on our tailbones from falling in the water. I went through a few pairs of pants. Here is the result of one fall...
For the rest of the day, we sat around and ate a fantastic dinner and had s'mores. YUMMY! When we left on Sunday, we were all dirty but happy to have had such a great weekend with great friends!
