To the tip of your fingers

Group picture

Over [most of] the weekend, I was at the tip of Michigan, residing in camping tents--with Andrew, Linda, Michelle, Mike, Jenny, Jesssica, and Elaine [and Jasmine <-- their dog]--in 3 seperate tents that were set-up before our arrival at Cheboygan.

Cooking over the fireplace

It was a wonderful experience as I did a lot of "first-time's" in this entire trip. It was my first time to cook "pizza" made of two pieces of bread with other "traditional ingredients like cheese, ham, mushrooms and what not. It was at lso my first time making some dessert, using biscuit dough with various fruits like blueberry, raspberry and strawberry. It was definitely my first time, making smores using actual marshmallow with Hershey chocolate that melted together with it. First time making Hobo Dinner. First time trying Butter Pecan Fudge (I never really liked fudge) etc.

First time playing Bucce Ball. First time stepping my foot on the Upper Peninsular (that place is very scenic, so it was kind of deserted). First time walking on the streets of Mackinac City. First time chopping woods (for real).

If you notice, the first half of my "first-time's" has to do with food. That should give you an idea of how much I consumed over the weekend. In fact, all we did was eat and sleep LOLz. Nevertheless, no regrets. Afterall (quoting Andrew et al) "that's what camping is all about, you eat and you sleep. You just need to relax and enjoy the break."

Will upload more pictures later. Possibly a little more detail.

For now, visit the Camping trip album to look at more pictures.

Signing off.
