The Adventure Begins December 1st.

We made it!

After 8 hours of driving we're here!! We've got everything set up and Jackson is in heaven. How does he not get cold lying in the rain? I know other dogs that would be whimpering to come inside, but there he is, basking in the glory of his wet hill, looking down at his people.
Our 4 hour trip turned into an 8 hour adventure. With a 100% chance of rain in the forecast, we decided to fore-go our original plans of Jones Gap. You got it, we wimped out. 

Yup, and here we are at the Lake House in Spring City, Tennessee instead of Cleveland, South Carolina . The closer we got, the more we realized that sitting in 100% chance of rain for two days was not our imagined camping experience. However, we didn't want to totally waste the opportunity to try out our stuff, so we decided to set up our camping gear outside the house to test out what it would be like. Which turned out ideal, because it's windy, cold, and raining excessively. We can go in the house to warm up, drink hot chocolate all day, and still poop on a toilet. 
What would you do in the rain for two days if you were camping outside with no real shelter?? I'm sure it will happen eventually!!
