Camping at PJ Hoffmaster

Well, we may not have had a broken tent like some family members or a campground that sent everyone home, but we did get a good storm with lots of rain. We were cooking our dinner just as the rains came. I wasn't about to eat frozen hot dogs, so we got some umbrellas to keep the fire going and finished cooking them before the river swept through the campsite. We were in the way of the water trying to get to the stream which was right behind our site. Pretty soon, our site became flooded with a few inches of water and I looked like a genius for where I decided to place the tents. The last picture is me trying to dig a trench to drain the water faster. The ground is pretty much all sand so once the rain stopped, it ended up draining fairly quickly. At least the storm the next night went to the south and north of us so we were only hit once!

At least you were able to snuggle up with a few dudes as the storm passed.

That looks amazing. Good thing those other couples had expert campers with them ;-)
