Starving Rock, Day 2.

It amazes me how easy it is to burn a morning. We got up fairly early, but didn’t get to the trail until 10ish. I guess good breakfast camp cooking takes longer than I expect. Once we got to the trail, we hiked St Louis canyon and then drove to another parking lot and hiked to LaSalle, Owl, and lone tree canyons, we also hit the sand stone overlook. All totaled it was almost 7.5 miles. We came back to the camper to clean up and lunch up. After lunch it started raining so we grabbed the laundry and went to town, and hit Kroger again. Set up the camp kitchen again to cook dinner and built a fire to burn the rest of the wood, and just as the fire was lit, and dinner was ready, it started raining hard, so we ate comfortably in the camper. As we were finishing dinner, the friendly campground raccoon came by to clean my grill for me. Had to rush out and put the outdoor camp kitchen away to get the little guy to stay away from us. The campfire survived the rain and we got to sit outside and enjoy the fire and fresh air. This is turning into a nice evening ritual.Read more
