Our recent camping trip for the 4th of July got me thinking about all of the fun times we have had throughout our marriage on camping trips. We both enjoy being outdoors and love to go camping! Early in our marriage we camped a lot because it was much cheaper than renting a hotel room. We would camp along the way from Kansas to Utah/Idaho to see family. This particular camping trip was down to Oklahoma City in the summer of 2001. One of my friends was getting married in the OKC Temple so we decided to spend the weekend at a nearby campsite.
As we drove up to the campsite we both were very worried that it essentially would be in the middle of a corn field with no trees, no water, NOTHING. After we turned off the main road and headed towards to actual campground we dropped down on this dirt road into a huge hole in the earth essentially. We were all of a sudden surrounded by tons of trees and red rocks lining the walls. It was beautiful! We had a hard time believing we were still in Oklahoma.
Behind our tent was a ladder that had been built by someone else so that you could climb up and go exploring. We had a great weekend wandering around the trails and attending the wedding in OKC! Maybe someday we will be able to go camping again at this same campground???
