Well, we expected to go up to Fools Hollow lake for camping last weekend, but *SNAP* the rest of everyone else was there on Wednesday and therefore the facility was full and what kind of freakin'g world do we live in where you can't just "go camping" without reservations for a spot that will put you back $20-$30 per night!!! Breathe... Okay, I'll admit, there should be some planning involved with a vacation, even camping, but it was over the top crazy crowded up north out of the valley. I will admit we were so lucky as to find a spot that wasn't reserved for Friday night, and the campground host was kind enough to allow us to stay at a site until Saturday but then we had to be out by 1 to let the reserved group come in. After all the work Tim put in getting everything ready, it was so stressful wondering if we would even find a spot. For that one night, we did enjoy the cool air, letting the kids wander around, get dirty, eat camp food, and break in our new (to us) camptrailer we got a few months ago. So the lesson learned is... you gotta camp for a week, or else we need to move to a state where we can be more spontaneous with our planning and not have to compete with half a million (or 1.4 million to be more precise) phoenicians who want to escape the summer heat for a weekend. We'll see. Until then we'll take what we can get whenever we can get it I guess. And if anyone has tips on how to get around the crowds, please send them my way!!
