I was randomly invited to go on an overnight camping trip with a group of people (most of whom I did not know) to Shenandoah. We left Friday evening and got there just before 9:00. My new friend Cody
made us some delicious tinfoil dinners; of course they took forever to cook so we roasted s'mores while we patiently waited. It was so great to be sitting around a campfire again, that is something we did a lot back in Logan but it's harder to do out here in Virginia. I loved it! I woke up early in the morning to use the bathroom and
on my way back I saw a young buck. He walked right up to me and we just stared at each other. If I had been a couple of inches closer I could have reached my hand out and touched him. I got into my tent to grab my camera and as I did so he followed me and walked right up to the tent window and looked in.
When I came out with my camera he started walking away, apparently he is a little camera shy, so this is the best shot I could get of him. Breakfast was a treat! My new friend Merideth brought fruit and toaster strudels which we heated up by balancing them with two sticks over a small camp stove. I thought it was ingenious!! We hiked a short distance along the Appalachian Trail and got a great view of Shenandoah. We hiked along the Cedar Run
Falls Trail to a natural waterslide-which was SO much fun!! Here are some great shots.

Oh my gosh!! That looks so wonderfully fun! I wish I could have gone with you! :)
