Camping at the Dragon...continued!

Sorry for the delay all you blogroupies, its been a long week. When I left off we were at the laundromat drying out from the flood!!! After we got everything dried out we headed back to the campsite, and ate some lunch at The Dragon's Den Grill. The food is good and it is right there at the start of the Dragon! They hang up a whole bunch of t-shirts from all the people who have visited on the ceiling, and would you believe that there is a DHY shirt there! I couldn't believe it.

John and Liam ready for bed.

After eating a fulfilling lunch; Mo, John, and Liam all went to Fontana Dam while I made some passes on the Dragon. We all had fun and then had dinner and got ready for bed. John and Liam were really cute laying on the air mattress. The night was beautiful, and much less chaotic! That is until two guys went screaming up the hill on their bikes to do a night run! It was only about twenty minutes later that we found out that one of them went down at Catch All corner and the bike went about 60 feet down the cliff! The rider was OK, but the bike wasn't. The rider said that he would just leave it at the bottom of the hill and get it out in the morning! Well the Dragon Pixies struck that night and retrieved his bike and put it in its rightful spot! On the Tree of Shame!

Warning! This could happen to you!!!

Especially if the Pixies are around!!!

The next morning began with a great sunrise and a hearty breakfast! I made one run on the Dragon and then we packed it in and headed home. We all had a great time and can't wait to go back! The next blog will be about John's trip to Grammy & Gramps Camp 2008!

Camping with the Dragon!

Campsite at the "Dragon"!

Mo, John, Liam, and I decided to go camping in the mountains the weekend before last. The destination was Deals Gap! Mo and the kids went up early on Saturday, while I was at work. While she was up there she pitched the tent and got the camp site setup. The only problem was that Mo couldn't quite get the rain fly on the tent. She decided to go exploring with the kids. They had an awesome time and went to eat. Well, by this time I had left work and gotten on my way. Mo was eating dinner when a severe thunderstorm rolled through and completely drowned the tent and everything that was in it!!! AAARRRGH!! That was Mo's initial response I'm sure, but it made for a fun little adventure the next morning!

The local laundromat where we dried our stuff.

As you can see from the picture above we had to drive into town and dry out!!! What could have been a long and boring morning turned out to be pretty cool. It's amazing how entertaining two kids in a landromat can be. We watched the clothes go around on the super spin cycle!! What a blast!

Speaking of severe weather we have a storm coming through right now! I will continue afterwards!
