Photo Journal of Spring Camping Trip

Four walls and a pot-bellied stove was all we needed to protect against unpredictable spring weather. Apparently this construct is known as a "lean to shelter" in the state of New Jersey. And only in the state of New Jersey.  Looks more like a primitive cabin to me. 

Sunlight wove her luminous fingers through the barren branches as she began to settle into her lunar slumber. For a brief moment, the brilliance diffused through the treetops in an angelic splash of late afternoon color. 

"You are in bear country," we were warned.  Couple that with the fact that we were the only campers on that side of the mountain. 

This trip had all of the proper makings of a deep woods slasher flick. I really shouldn't have stayed up late the night before watching horror films on Netflix. I should know better. 

My three-year-old son carefully observed as I prodded the campfire with a makeshift fire poke. 

"May I have a fire stick?" he asked. I reluctantly gave him a small branch to stick into the fire cautioning him about the dangers of fire. 

No sooner had I finished my lecture, that he had manage to whap the tip of his nose with the ember-side of the stick. Oh well. You burn, you learn. 

We looked out across the sea of moss. There are unseen worlds to be found beneath the soles of our feet... all waiting to be discovered by those curious enough to look.  

I always wonder what views there are to be seen up over that next ridge. This time I was richly rewarded with a peace-filled view, sitting on top of the world.
