Beth and I just got back from camping at Chain O' Lakes State Park over near Columbia City. We went with a group of people from church; apparently it is a tradition at church that a group goes somewhere to camp over Memorial Day weekend. We stayed with friends in their 5th wheel overnight. Overall I think there were 6 campers or 5th wheels all parked in lots pretty close together. It was a lot of fun. The park has a bunch of lakes all connected by narrow channels, hiking trails, nature center, playground, etc, everything a state park needs. It was very relaxing, I tell you, just sitting by the campfire, playing volleyball or card games (or Spider-man on Jim's xbox), or doing nothing, or something. I also find that camping makes me hungry. Everyone seemed to eat a lot more than normal. And something about camping makes hamburgers and hot dogs really really good. And smores....can't beat 'em.
