And then...about 1/2 hour before pulling into Trinity Lakes, we saw a little sign that said "Eagle Creek Campground, 1 mile." It was 6:30 pm, and we were really tired of being in the car. Should we change plans? We decided to check it out.
What a great decision! Because we were away from the more touristy area of Trinity Lake, we ended up having the entire campground all to ourselves!
I had packed some leftover chicken-pineapple shishkabob from Sunday's dinner, which we tossed into some foil packets and heated up over briquets while we set up the tent. A couple of chopped apples, with a little brown sugar and butter added in, then wrapped in more foil, made a delicious dessert.
After dinner we went down to the nearby river (Was it Eagle Creek? We're not sure) to cool off and relax after sitting in the car all day. It wasn't as cold as we feared, and we had fun playing in the water.
The next morning we tossed the gear in the car and continued on our way. Ahhhh...now that's the way to go car camping!

I love those pictures of you guys in the water, you look like you are having so much fun. I think Ender is waiting for you to get back to be born.
Now all you need is a hot tub for the morning soak! ;) We should go car camping together sometime... we're quite good at it, too! Glad you found such a perfect campground.
I love it! You guys seem to have fun so often and really enjoy life!
Just a quick note to let you know that a link to this post will be placed on CraftCrave today [16 Jul 12:00pm GMT]. Thanks, Maria
Another great "tutorial!" I am glad you are getting famous for these interesting how-to posts!! ;-)
Looks like a lot of fun. Glad you were able to have a relaxing drive.
Glad you made such a great decision! I guess whether it's an Eagle Creek Trail or an Eagle Creek campsite, you just can't go wrong with those Eagle Creeks!
And the Pacific Crest Trail even! It sure looks like you guys had a great time. We're looking forward to you getting back so we can hear your stories.
