Jen, me, and Mark joined up with the Ellison and Jones families at the group camp spot again this year for a fun weekend but with one little change - now it's only 1.5 hours away!
There's nothing like camping in the Sequoia National Forest especially without driving 5 hours to get there!
Hume Lake is always great because it reminds me of all the good times at the Christian Camp and the huge impact they have had on my life. And also fishing is a good thing. Oh and also camping, and hiking, and eating, eating, eating!
Don't worry we stayed on task and got to all the important things like driving up to the Water Tower Amphitheater to watch shooting stars, Frisbee Golf, hiking the trail out to Wildwood Camp, Church on Sunday, and of course, Extreme Boccie Ball (Mark and Cecil are going down next time)!
Camping at Logger Flat was great again. Even though the water was a little low, it did have its advantages - like seeing interesting things.
However, despite our attempts, none of those interesting things happened to be trout on the end of our lines...
It was good to get away though. And as usual, Hume Lake closes out the Summer on Labor Day with the Country Fair. There is nothing like eating so much you just have to lie down and watch the clouds float by slowly over the graceful pines...
Of course Mark and I also had to try fishing at the lake which yielded better results - 3 fish per hour! You may think that I just can't get enough of fishing because of the thrill in the catch. Well, with surroundings like this - sometimes it's okay not to catch much!

Do you think Daniel enjoys camping? =)
The weekend went by really fast and we knew we had to get back to reality soon - but how can you with God's great creation and friends and family all around you?

For the longest time now I didn't think "Hume do you speak of" made any sense, but then I realized its a play on words and that one of us is retarded. Despite that, it was an excellent trip.
