Camping Out In Sasquatch Country

Lost Lake Campgrounds in Mt Hood National Forest

Sasquatch himself

And his long lost cousin..  :)

Our campsite.  Each campsite was so secluded and beautiful.

Never camped in such an amazing setting before.

Taking a stroll around the lake keeping an eye out for Bigfoot.  Joss was determined to find him.

Auty not loving the baby carrier, of course.  But we will keep on trying.  :)

Time to build a fire..

Joss also helping, but realizing she just got a splinter.

Dindin time.  Hotdogs and baked beans...Everyman for himself  :)

Kids trying to find fun things to do while they wait for smores..playing footsie was first

meditating was next...

Then they decided to play in the trees..

Finally...time to make smores

Joss' face says it all..  lol

This picture shows just how majestic these trees are..  

Love Auty's laughing face in this one.

After a very long night of 40 degree weather and sleeping on rocks, we awoke to brilliant blue skies and fabulous views of Lost Lake and...

                                Imperial views of Mt. Hood, though these photos do it no justice.

Another view of Mt. Hood on our way back home.

Also on our way home we passed the Bridge Of The Gods, the place where Cheryl Strayed, author of the book Wild (highly recommend it) finishes her life-altering trek on the Pacific Crest Trail..

She hiked this trail from Mojave Desert through California and Oregon to Washington state, ALONE!!

So courageous.  I keep telling Erik I would love to camp out ONE night alone on this trip just to see what it would be like.  Maybe I will muster up enough courage to do so.. :)
