Even though it was just a 2 day trip, we had a lot of things to prepare especially food and drinks since we were planning to have steamboat on the first night and BBQ on the second day.
On the day, we set off pretty early to Lake Cascade as it was approximately 3 hours drive away. Camping equipments, food, clothes packed and definitely not forgetting our 3 little friends, Chelsea, Sweetie and Titus.
Finding the campsite was a piece of cake, but setting up a tent was totally the opposite! It took us almost an hour to set up our tent with the help of the park ranger and another 45 mins to set up a smaller one for Ju and myself. (Since Rajesh had got a queen air bed, they will need a bigger tent) After our accommodation for the night was set up, we prepared for our steamboat dinner.
After dinner, we went to Boulder Creek which was located at Lake Cascade for a swim. The water was really chilly but we had an enjoyable time there! It was really fun! As the sky was getting darker, we went back to the campsite where it became really dark when we reached.
We turned on our electric lantern as a visual aid. It was pretty cold that night and Ju and I had to change to our running pants. We got some firewoods and set up a mini campfire at the assigned area, had some drinks before going to sleep. We were lucky that the sleeping bag kept us warm. Even Chelsea squeezed in to sleep with Ju.
Next day was pretty simple. We took down our tents, went to the lake again and had BBQ. Rajesh and Nisha didn't really had a good rest the night before as they went to the car in the middle night as the cold was unbearable for them.
We were very tired but still proceed to drive back home.
It was an enjoyable trip after all and I thought it was pretty well planned. Should have stayed 2 nights instead. Well, hopefully we will be back In near future!
