Raccoon Creek State Park, PA

As promised, pictures from backpacking!

It was really great fun.  On Sat we hiked in about 2 miles and dropped off our packs and collected lot's of fire wood for the night.  We also started a small fire to dry up a lot of the food as well as the fire ring.  It was supposed to and did get really cold Sat night.  Actually the temps dipped as low as 35ish. We froze!  oh yea, So after setting up camp a bit we had lunch and then headed out on a 4 mile hike of the Apaloosa trail. It was amazing!

I was so cold that during the night I got up as well as Devon and attempted to make fire just to get warm.  We did get fire, but also a whole lot a smoke!  Basically we slept in a smoke house....lol...

The next morning we got up and got the fire going again while having hot drinks and breakfast.  Then we hiked the 2 miles out.

It was a great birthday weekend spent with great friends!
