Mt. Rainier - July 2006 : We had room for up to 40 campers on this trip, but ended up with only five campers to share a MASSIVE campsite. It was actually kinda fun having all that room to ourselves. :) We basically just farted around, hiking from Reflection Lakes to Paradise (or most of the way) on Saturday.

Mt. Rainier - July 2005 : Another great trip! We didn't get to see much of the mountain until Saturday night because of clouds, but what a beautiful scene it was as the sun set that evening. This was the largest group we've had in quite a while, but there was plenty of room and more than enough alcohol, oh yes. Thank God someone brought that high-class Monarch vodka...I mean, that stuff's expensive but oh so smooth. :-)

Fort Worden - June 2005 : The gang spent a couple of days at Fort Worden State Park. We spent hours exploring the areas in and around the old military installations, and visited nearby Port Townsend for lunch on Saturday and breakfast on Sunday.

Ocean Shores (Beach House) - February 2005 : Not camping, exactly...just some boozin', board gamin', beachin', eatin', hot tubbin', and dancin'. And speaking of dancin', we were all treated to a dance-off between Antknee and Heath, set to the dulcet tones (?) of Britney Spears and Madonna. They were judged on dance moves, wardrobe, wardrobe malfunction, etc. This is what happens when a bunch of homos and two straight girls converge for a weekend.

Ocean Shores - August 2004 : Well, this trip was more or less a bust because of the rain. Had a weird experience, though: I went down to the beach soon after the sun had gone down and the fog had started rolling in... Once I got away from the trees, I was totally blinded by the fog, seeing maybe 10-15 feet in any direction. Beyond that everything was just a blue mist but I could hear the sound of the ocean somewhere out there, it was like being alone on an alien planet. It was quite beautiful...or maybe it was just the alcohol kicking in. :) The next day, it started to rain and never really stopped. We waited for another hour or so, and eventually decided to pack up and get outta there.

Deception Pass - April 2004 : This was another trip where I didn't take too many photos...I was too busy freezing my ass off because I was sleeping alone in a giant tent! I obviously didn't know how to "dress" for sleeping in a cold tent, something I quickly learned after one night. :) James also took a few pics which are included here.

Ocean Shores (Beach House) - February 2004 : Once again the gang headed down to Ocean Shores for a weekend of non-campin', including drinkin', hot tubbin', kite flyin', readin', sleepin', dancin', and more drinkin'. On Sunday morning we had some excellent brekkie at the Shilo Inn down the road. For once, I didn't take a lot of photos during this trip...it was too cloudy & rainy for nice sunsets, and I was in the hot tub for 2-3 hours each night (which is totally good for you, of course). Anyway, James and Heath made up for it with lots of their own fun pics.

Orcas Island - September 2003 : This was a great trip for scenery and drama with crazed deer wandering through our campsite. We also did a little sea kayaking, which I've never done before...pics of that appear towards the end.

Mount Rainier - July 2003 : Wow, what a trip. It was a long, grueling drive on highways crowded with fleeing Seattleites (thanks to Jim for driving again), but once we got there we had a great weekend in the sun. Oh yes...lots of sun. And bugs, how could I forget the bugs?? We hiked around the Paradise trails, played in the snow a bit, threw a frisbee around, waded around in the creek, had a water balloon fight (which I managed to nap through), and certain nameless people even did a bit of nude sunbathing. Well, now! No bears or mountain lions, though I managed to get a picture of something...possibly a groundhog, I'm not exactly sure.

Lake Chelan - June 2003 : Ahhh, another camping weekend! Unfortunately, this one started out with some car trouble. Jim's car went tits-up so we drove all the way back to Bellevue and rented a PT Cruiser. It added a couple of hours to our trip, but it was worth it! The last thing anyone needs is a bunch of homosexuals stranded in the mountains with a broken-down car full of camping shit.

Ocean Shores (Beach House) - February 2003 : Once again the gang converged on Ocean Shores for a camping trip, except this time it wasn't really camping...it was more like a 16-person boozin' slumber party. James & Dylan rented a beach house for us, which came with several bedrooms and a hot tub. It was a lot of fun, and a few of us even in participated in a strange Ocean Shores ritual known as Midnight Madness.

Ocean Shores - May 2002 : This was my first camping with Anthony and his campin' buddies. There were 14 total this time around, and they're a fun and rowdy bunch. There was a lot of kite-flying, walking, sandcastle building, eating, alcohol guzzling, and napping. At night we slept to the sound of the waves on the beach and frogs (a relaxing combination, oddly enough).
