Cleveland Reservoir
July 16-17
While we have been here before {it's been a couple of years}, this felt like a completely new experience. We finally took our little raft out on the open water - with the dogs in tow! At first I was a little nervous, but quickly enough I realized that the dogs aren't afraid of water in the slightest. So I sat back and enjoyed the ride as Wyet rowed us about.
The first night we were there {and in to the next day} the weather was a little rough. That didn't stop us from enjoying ourselves! |
Enjoying my morning coffee and trying to learn a little something about this amazing place we live in. |
There is nothing quite like the happiness this guy gets when he catches a fish! |
Rafting! |
Wyet doing all the hard work. |

Labor Day Weekend
This getaway was definitely one of the most planned out camping trips we have been on. We knew we needed to go somewhere remote as Labor Day weekend is always filled with campers. We also knew that the weather was likely to turn on us. Regardless, we were determined to spend some time enjoying nature before the end of summer. We made the two and a half hour drive to our destination and had one of the most memorable camp trips to date.
Tis the time for pumpkin spice everything! |
Our tent looks like a space shuttle! The temperatures were supposed to drop in to the 30s at night so we definitely planned ahead and lined our tent in space blankets! #determined |
As it was a long journey, we flew solo this time and let the pups sleepover at grandma's. |
Sitting around a fire in the evening is one of the most relaxing ways to end a day! |
Breakfast time! I failed and forgot to bring the coffee press. |
On our second day, we decided to set out on an adventure. We decided to hike to Neff's Reservoir and do some fishing. The trail-head said it was only 2 miles and could easily be done on foot. |
The views on the way there were pretty spectacular. |
However, it was definitely an ATV trail and not meant to be taken on foot. It took us way longer than anticipated to arrive. |
By the time we finally made it, it was already approaching sunset. We stayed just long enough to take in the beauty, catch one little fish and get back on the trail. |
