Camping at Timothy Lake



We celebrated our friend Eric Gregorich's birthday by camping the weekend of August 9-12 at Timothy Lake.  We headed out Friday night but a thunderstorm prompted us to take a pit stop at Ice Axe restaurant in Government Camp, OR.  As we sat in the dry, warm restaurant looking out the window at the lightning and heavy downpour, we were relieved we decided to wait it out.  Once the weather cleared a bit, we headed out to the campsite and arrived around 9:00 pm.  Steve put up our tent with some help from our friends already there, and Maddy and I hung out in the car until we were good to go. 

We had a wonderful weekend camping, first time for two nights in the tent for little Maddy and she enjoyed it very much.  She is a true camper, which makes her parents very happy.  : )

We went on a short hike (more like a longer walk) and took in the beauty of Timothy Lake and the views of Mount Hood.  We had lots of friends around and lots of kiddos for Maddy to play with.  All in all, a very good weekend with very good company.
