4th of July Camping Trip

I just got my pictures onto my computer from the 4th of July camping trip. They turned out pretty good, I must say for a total amateur photographer.

I'm realizing now that these photos are actually decent because I didn't take them! Benjamin took most of them. This one was taken at the entrance to CAMP STANLEY. Benjamin has been offered the possible position to run Camp Stanley. So, we went to check it out over the 4th. It was a great time.
This is a picture of me in our brown Dually, the Chevy Custom Deluxe! Woohoo! Radar, our dog, is in the back of the truck but you cant really see him. We're sitting on the Camp Stanley Road. The view from the road alone is beautiful!


Benjamin decided to take us on a wild 4x4 ride through the camp. Unfortunately there were a few trees in our way that were either dead or had been blown over and Benjamin had to cut them away. Luckily he had his chain saw just for that reason. Like his out fit? Benjamin wins many awards for his extremely well dressed self!

This is one of the trees we did NOT cut down! This was a tree we saw near RED FISH LAKE. Pretty cool!Benjamin at Red Fish Lake with the Sawtooth Mountains behind him.

Radar came trotting over to me, proud as ever, that he found his ball in the woods. I took one look at him and busted out laughing. Radar just stared at me like he was saying, "You gonna throw the ball or what?" But I couldn't help noticing the twig he had some how gotten jammed up into his collar, wrapped around his head, and stuck in his lip! The twig was holding his lip up and making him look like a complete doofus! Too funny! This picture doesn't do justice to the hilarity of this moment. We were driving through Stanley to check out the seen and we came across this amazing camping vehicle! A friend was with us and told us he had seen something in a magazine about these things. Their made for major outdoor expeditions out in the dessert and stuff. Benjamin and I decided if we ever win the lottery, or I become a famous singer, we're totally getting one of those!Benjamin and I had a totally successful camping trip to the Sawtooth Mountains. It was beautiful and we're going back really soon!
