You are driving to Chicago ?!?!

So after yesterday's long day driving we took our sweet time this morning getting on the road. Thanks to ranger Tom he gave us the advice to buy a tarp bc of the rain and some warm clothes. Like we said this trip was unplanned.
Off to Kmart for some camping gear and nail polish! Every girl must have pretty toes even when camping!
Where can you find sweatshirts in June in Oregon? Should be easy since its always cold but no! We went to a few places and finally found warm gear at old navy.
We drove in the back woods of Oregon to get to Detroit state park to meet up with ranger Tom.
At lunch we told him about our plans to drive back to Chicago. He was pretty surprised especially when we told him we had to be back on the
12th! Ahhh we can do it
After a nice lunch he showed us our campsite and took off to work. Yes! We had to assemble the tent on our own. Thank god for girl scouts! 20 mins later tent up not to mention in the rain! The campsite is amazing on a beautiful lake.
Not much to do in the rain but drink miller lite and paint our nails. This is what camping is all about! We saw a wood pecker and a chipmunk. Tonight we will see fireworks over the lake!
Tom has checked in on us! We are on a campsite that doesn't exist but never the less we are camping. And we are prepared. Ponchos, chairs, beer,tent, flashlights, head lights,beer, junk food, beer, water,towels, sheets and more beer! We are good to go!
Now if it would stop raining. :(
Update! Eye candy just arrived next to us!
