Our Camping Trip

Several weeks ago we went camping in the Cherokee National Forest. There are several really great places to camp. We usually go deep into the forest away from everyone, but this time we decided to try this campground on the North River.

The campsite here are very large with plenty of room for the dogs to run around. I wish I had brought our badminton set. This is the second time we have used our new tent. It is nice and roomy. It has a doggie door too, but I don't leave it unzipped because of all the raccoons, skunks, and possums. That wouldn't be a nice surprise to wake up to.

They have a grill but I brought ours which was already clean. I'm grilling some chicken, roasting the corn, and have garlic onions cooking in the pan. Dinner was yummy. There is just something about cooking over an open fire that makes the food take wonderful.

Dinky and Toby taking a rest while I cook dinner.

We went just after public school started back so there wasn't many people in the campground.

Dinky is a little spoiled. He doesn't like to lay in the dirt or grass. Here he is sitting in my chair.

Toby kept trying to wonderful off while I was packing the car up, so I put him in his crate. He looks so cute there pouting.

There are a lot of beautiful places inside the forest. Here is one of our fishing holes. Makes a good swimming hole too.

Toby Going Camping

We went camping a few weeks ago in the Cherokee National Forest. It's not too far from our home, but it's a road trip none the less. All you have to say is "do you want to go?" and the dogs go crazy.

Dinky usually curls up in his seat and sleeps on the trip, but Toby likes to look at the passing scenery. Waiting for someone or something that moves for him to bark and growl at. This video is Toby enjoying the ride with the wind whipping in his ears and wonderful scents touching his nose.

This is my first video camera, so the video is not the best, but enjoy anyway.
