Wild May long weekend

Harrison West

Tent Village

This weekend a bunch of us headed up to Harrison West, for those who aren't sure where it is its up past Weaver and Wolf lake. 4x4 country. I was quite impressed that my little car made it up there without problems. My buddies went up Friday night to get a spot and Dana and I met them Sat morning. I was expecting it to be poring and was so excited to see that the weather wasn't half bad. It did rain some but there were also moment of sun which was so nice.

Jen and her man brought up the quads so we were able to double up and go on small adventures, I got to shoot my first shot gun and 22. Oh yeah, i felt the power. There is something besides the pain of the kickback, that is so amazing about shooting off a high powered toy. It was great, and ya I have a bit of a bruise but it was all worth it. So we played hard all weekend had a blast then today as we were loading up Jen tells Dana that theres this great view that he would love and Jer ( her man) suggests taking the guns again for one last round of fun before heading home. Since there was only two quads and Jen is still learning on hers I voted to stay back and finish up packing the car. Dana jumped on with Jer, shot gun on his back in a case and off they went. When they returned I noticed that their faces weren't as happy as when they left. Everyone looked really solem. Then I noticed the but end of Jer's gun case. There was a huge tear, well it didn't take me long to realize that the tear was not a tear but a huge burn mark and the insides of the shot gun were showing. Now a tad worried I asked what happened. Dana starts to inform me that he wrecked the gun, soon to be interrupted and corrected that it wasn't his fault but just a very unfortunate accident that could of gone really bad. The gun had been hanging near the exhast and the sound of the material melting was put off as quad noises. On the other side of the case was a box of live rounds and a magnum shot, which is a large bullet. That large bullet was facing Dana's back and when they stopped and noticed the damage they also noticed that the bullet had started to heat as well. They figured that another five minutes or so that magnum would of heated and gone off straight through the backs of both Dana and Jer. I was so grateful as well as everyone else that the worse didn't happen. That right there pretty much ended the day and we all packed up the rest of our stuff and headed home.

Us Gals

No I am at home looking at my camping gear telling it to put its self away but it just wont listen. I have managed to get the dishes washed that I didn't do this morning and got half of our fire smelling clothes washed. Ick. I love camping and being out doors but I hate the clean up after words. I wonder if you could hire someone to empty your car, put away your stuff, and cook your dinner for you. Oh well, we shall continue to dream.

I have another camping trip coming up in June and I know that it wont be nearly as exciting but as far as the first camping of the year I must give this one a 4 star rating!
