Our second camping adventure - and we (naively) set out without a reservation! Who new it was so difficult to get a spot these days? With Oxbow sold out at 6:30 AM on Friday what were we to do? Luckily new this year they opened Dodge Park for overnights, previously only a day use area. It was great! Brand new everything -- can't say I've ever experienced that before.
You are surrounded on 2 sides by the Sandy river (above) and Bullrun (below). They converge here, and Bullrun continues on east.
The Bullrun side was awesome! There was a really lazy part of the river with a little beach, natural swimming hole (brrrr -- Juliet swam, the brave soul), and rock shelf that you can walk out on. You can even see it in the picture below.
Lots of big boulders to scale.
Derek and Juliet had to explore the other side of the river of course.
Ruby likes to make Mama scream. :)
Follow Daddy!
It is so great to be camping again. Althoug now everything is bigger! Tent is ginormous, camping stoves do not fold away and are not named "whisperlite". The car is riding so low... car camping at its finest. :)
