Camping! In the rain!

I finally went camping. And it rained hard enough to flood the river we were camped near so we had to move our tents. If someone hadn't woken up at 7:00 a.m. and noticed that the water was getting high, we may have been swept down the river. And it wasn't a small river. There was a lot of water- in the morning, none of those sandbars were there. But it was still nice to be camping. We had a good barbeque, met some bored Japanese high school boys, did fireworks and slept in tents in a really beautiful area. It could have been much worse.

The footbridge we had to cross to get to the campground. Only 5 people were allowed on it at a time.
