Camping Trip 1 of 3 2009 Dreher Island

We're back! It was great!! Much better than last years camping trip even though not as many crazy stories to tell. The weather was perfect. Cool at night and sunny and warm during the day. It only started raining on the morning we were packing up. We did all the typical camping activities: Road bikes, fished, roasted marshmellows, hiked....
Two small things did happen and I knew something would. It wouldn't be a Schrock vacation without a little action.
The first morning we woke up there we decided to have eggs, sausage, and some beanie weenies for breakfast. I threw the can into the fire like Aaron had instructed me to and wasn't thinking anything about it when BOOM, it sounded like gunfire, I look up, see a metal can flying, hit Keagan in the head, Keagan goes down, and then I hear him screaming! It scared the crap out of all of us. Literally, the beanie weenie can exploded in the firepit, sent a pour down of beans everywhere and the can had hit Keagan. He was bent down so we didn't know how bad it was at first. Luckily it could have been a lot worse. He has been left with a knot and a bruise but we'll all going to be okay!
Then the very next morning there I wake up at about 5:45. It's still dark out but I really need to go use the potty. I couldn't take Aaron to the bathhouse with me because Keagan was still sleeping. I was a little freaked out because of it still being dark but I thought since it was morning surely everything would be okay. I get to the bathhouse, see the lights off, open the door and the automatic lights come on and I was thinking, "whew, I'm by myself!" I get to my stall, still freaked out, mind you, and go to shut and lock the door and there is no lock. I have to admit that my imagination went flying. I can't lock my door next thing you know everyone is going to be reading a headline that says, "Girl killed in bathhouse, etc." I proceed to sit down, look to my left and there is someone in that stall. I see feet just sitting there. How can there be someone in here?? The lights were off!!! How long would they have had to sit here before the automatic lights turn off on them. Surely a good little while! I bolt up, not even sure if my pants are buttoned, take off running out of the bathhouse, back on the road, down the street, constantly looking behind me....I make it to the campsite and of course I'm okay because I'm sitting here typing this but I still wonder what that person was doing in there....
Regardless, we've all three made it back in one piece and we're looking forward to our next camping trip coming up in May in the Pisgah National Forrest.
