In August, Scott and I went camping with our friends Mike and Arthur. We went into the mountains above Idyllwild and drive through too many winding roads for my liking to get to our campsite.
This was our tent and our campfire. We had fun on Friday night just talking and playing games. We built a ring of logs around our fire, though by the end of Saturday they were all gone :) The highlight of the trip was almost getting in trouble with a volunteer forest ranger. Scott insisted that he wanted to cut down a tree, even though we were in the San Bernardino National Forest and we knew it was not allowed. Scott, with the help of Mike, managed to chop almost all the way through, before the forest ranger that we had seen earlier finally noticed what they were doing. The ranger attempted to call a real forest ranger to get the tree down correctly and to give us a citation or some kind of penalty. Lucky for us, he couldn't get ahold of anyone. We got away free and clear, at least we think. Who knows, in a couple years the CIA may invade our home and arrest Scott for almost chopping down a tree ;)
