July Camping Trips








We spent an extended fourth of July weekend on another fantastic camping trip, at a place called Indiana Dunes. The Great Lakes and surrounding beaches and woods are so incredibly beautiful. We thoroughly enjoyed walking and laying on the beach. Guitar music sounded extra good with the sound of waves lapping the shore or the crackle of the campfire. One of the highlights was hiking Mt. Thom. We took the stairs from the campground to the beach. I don't think it's possible to climb the dreaded Mt. Thom from the dune side...
Then, we went home for one night to do laundry and re-pack before heading to my favorite camping spot – Clifty Falls. This trip was terrific, too. We enjoyed the pool this year, in addition to the wildlife, hiking, and relaxing by the fire to sing and play guitar. We tried a fantastic new combination of trails that had us looking so sweaty, another couple said they were going to ask us directions, but they didn’t want to go the way we had been! Daisy absolutely loves camping in the woods here, too. This time, she was intrigued by the raccoons that approached the campsite in the evening.
