Back again to Driftwood Provincial Park for our 2nd Annual Girls Only Camping Trip. We have now affectionately named it "Chicks In The Stix"
Eight women, two nights, and a whole lot of laughter. It was a recipe for fun! We all arrived around 2 pm and began setting up the tents.
After camping at Driftwood last year, we had planned to reserve sites 41 and 42. However, instead of reserving in February like we had planned, we waited a month too long and reserved the sites in March. Unfortunately by that time site # 41 was already taken (yep, the prime sites go that fast) and so we had to settle for sites 42 and 43.

Although Heather G. couldn't make it this year, she did loan us her tent that we have now named "Goliath" . This tent is so big that it holds 2 queen sized air mattresses, plus two to 3 more single mats, as well as everyone's gear. On top of that, there was a breeze way entry room where we could put our shoes and a few other items. It's the perfect tent when there are so many of us.
First order of business was to hand out our custom made "Chicks In The Sticks" T-shirts to each of the attendees.
The second order of business was to get a fire started. We had bought 2 bags of wood from the Park Office but the wood was pretty wet and it was difficult to start the fire. Once we got it going it was not easy to keep it going. We did all right though all in all. But we made plans to get dry wood for the next day.
And the third order of business was to break out the snacks.
The day went by quickly and before we knew it the sun was setting over the river.
We sat around the fire talking and playing "Cards Against Humanity" until we were too tired to play anymore. Then, we went to the tents and fell asleep listening to the loons in the distance.
