Borrowing space at a Scout camp in Jersey

[Norseman]

Did a little overnight camping trip finally! There's a boy scouts preserve about a mile out in the woods behind my house. They haven't been using it all summer (maybe it's been too hot for them, too?), so we decided to borrow a spot out there for the night.

This was the start setting out a little later than I wanted (about 7pm giving us an hour of light).


Cooking dinner with the Emberlit


My dog chilling in front of the tent. (Like the boys he kept wanting in and out. With them I can make them take off or put on their shoes. With him, he just kept tracking dirt in the tent, so I told him no more. LOL)


I guess this is why he kept wanting back out.


Literally 10 minutes after the prior pic was taken


This campsite features the Jersey Devil totem pole


A little dip for Bax and the boys.

LOL yeah man ...definitely had fun. Now that it's cooled off, I hope to get in a few more!

Yeah I'm really happy with this pack. Flexxx suggested it to me, and I'm glad I listened to him! It comes in other colors, but I really like the multicam. I did a little review on here ...if you google it, I think it comes up.

nice! and i thought this whole time you were afraid of the woods...then again, you brought not just the dog but the whole family to keep you safe so maybe i was right kidding...good stuff!

You can always judge a trip by the expression on the kids' faces. Those are some happy looking kids. Thanks for sharing man.

Thanks guys!

@JV3 - LOL I would be out there much more often if I wasn't always busy with my band on the weekends AND if it wasn't so damn hot and buggy out there this summer! I really do want to head out with you some time ...eat some fire grilled spam!!

@Casey - thanks ...yeah they got on my nerves a few times, but overall they love it and can't wait 'til next time!

Nice post man, looks like a good time. Over-nites with the family are always fun for me.
