Oh boy, time for me to pic whore this thread
I have posted these old pics from a few decades back when my kids were young.
We gout out about around ten times or more each year from May to late September.
First up, the youngest in his white baby Strideright shoes helping to setup camp.
That was our first tent trailer, a $500 beater Sears one.
The newer tent trailer, and '89 Flagstaff by Cobra, same as a Jayco, made by the same Amish that made the Jaycos.
Top of Crystal Mountain Ski Resort, highest restaurant in WA. state with Mt. Rainier in the background.
Backpacking in Eastern WA. somewhere, I think not far from Lake Kachess.
Camped at Mt. Rainier National Park, and we were out for a long day hike to take in the sites up there.
I am guessing this was around '91 or '92.
Backcountry camping at Greenwater off of FS Road 70, foothills/shadow of Mt. Rainier.
I think this is Lake Easton State Park, just East over Snoqualmie Pass.
Mt. Rainier National Park again on the way to the lodge at the top, great closeup views of the mountain.
BC, Canada, Lightening Lakes campground at Manning Provincial Park, perhaps the best paid campground we ever stayed at.
Great thing about Provincial Parks is all the free firewood you want.
We were camped next to one of the bins they fill up with nice dry wood.
I think it was around a five hour drive or more from my home to get there.
Ipsut Creek campground, NW entrance to Mt. Rainier National Park.
The road going to there got washed about several years ago.
The White River campground where I went this past August is at the North Eastern entrance to the park.
I was crazy back then.
I would tow the tent trailer to Boeing in day shift on a Thursday, then when I got off of work at 2 PM I would make the long drive to the campground and either park the trailer there with it down like that and drive back home, or I would set it up and sleep up there for the night, then getup early and drive home, shower, then be at work by 5 am.
Then pick up the kids from the X after work Friday, and drive back up.
Makes me tired just thinking of all that
Lake Easton State Park.
Not exactly sure where this was.
It may be written on the back of the photo.
I think this was Lake Kachess again.
I have tons of pics of the kids and I camping, but do not have a lot other than these scanned in.
Good memories for sure!
No cell phones, no computers back then, no distractions.
