Camping Trip day 2 (cont.)
.....there were a ton of people. it kind of resembled a packed beach. people had outdoor furniture, umbrellas, towels to lay on, a few ice chests. apparently it was 'the place to be.' the Slicks turned out to be a lot smaller than i thought. like a LOT smaller. i was expecting something like what we climed down to go to the pool would be the equivalent of one of the slides but they were only about ......10ft high? and not steep at all. but a good enough incline to slide down. BUT another thing city boys like me didnt know was that you need to bring trash bags to slide down so you dont get cut up by the ROCK that youre sliding down. we came up to them and in true tour guide status Adam pointed out and announced "these are the Slicks!" a bit disappointed, i led to keep exploring the area more huge dry rocks to lounge on right beside beautiful flowing water. it was like you couldnt even SEE the water it was so clear. we then found the rock he used to jump off of into the water. it was a good 15, 20ft ? above the water. and the water below went down a suprising 6ft! you could see people walking right next to where the others were jumping in! and im like WTF? Adam explained that once you hit the water and curl up into a ball, youre all good. you might touch the bottom but no harm done. i was too chicken to take the plunge and Adam wasnt up for it either. a vague existance of what he remembers. so we went back over to the big lounge rocks. put our towels and such up on this big rock that i was suprised no one had claimed yet. and i lay in the flowing water on a rock in the sun. just to relax. it was ............ just....... wonderful. while i was out for the count, Adam went over to laugh at the silly straight boys go down the Slicks for their first time. and i just lay there. embracing the (also freezing but refreshing) water. i had my bulldog hat on top of my face bcz the sun was like pointed directly at me. later i saw a shadow creep up my way and figured Adam had come back to try to scare me. when i saw the shadow lunge my way i took off the had to let him know i wasnt scared and got a face full of water chucked at me! lol he was ROLLLIN and i just kina sat there like "yup... you got me babe lol" we headed back up to the parking lot and made another leisurely drive back to camp. i was still in awe at how beautiful the forest was. which is why i was driving so slowly. it was soo great just to spend time with him. alone. our phones got NO service :-D. there was nowhere we had to be (cept for dinner at R'v and Leslie's campsite). but that wasnt til like 7 so we had like 4 hrs. we had nothing really planned on what we would do while camping. we just did whatever we felt like. "well theres _______"  "SURE, lets do that!" lol we got back to camp, out of our wet clothes and took a nap. a much needed nap after waking up at that ungodly hour. we woke up, cleaned up ;-) and headed over to R'v and Leslie's. had some cider (omg cider!!) that really helped my throat. i guess being in freezing water all day and then staying outside while it gets cold isnt such a good idea - who knew!? i didnt get sick but i had a bit of a cough. we played apples to apples. R'v was so proud of all the new gear they got after the wedding. they had some kool stuff tho. lol Mike Wizowski the giant pet flashlight lol. it was this huuuge light like seriously a foot in diameter and was bright as hell. they called it Mike Wizowski bcz it was this little one-eyed monster of a light lol. and they never once referred to it as a flashlight. "hun, will you hand me Mike Wizowski?"  "put Mike Wizowski back in his box!!" lmao hilarity ensued with more apples to apples and good times were had by all. we headed back to our camp. it was something like 11p. a couple times we turned off the light to walk down the paved path in pitch black. it was creepy and fun at the same time. we clung to each other lol. it was great. we went strait to bed dead tired this time.

woke up and took advantage of the firewood we had bought at the shop. just sat together talking near the fire. after it burned out we packed everything up in the car - ready to go. we had lunch and said goodbye to his aunt kim, uncle and cousin. then made our way back to fresno. the forest was beautiful at night but breathtaking during the day! again driving as slow as possible to take it all in lol. soo great.
