Photos from our camping trip - Part 2



A pretty wooded area near our campsite.




Another wooded area near our campsite. You can see the lake (sort of) in the background.



"Is this burning an eternal flame?" Only until the citronella oil runs out! LOL! This is one of the little containers we burn citronella oil in to keep the mosquitoes away.

We had a great time - the weather was nice, a little warm even. The pool at the campsite was not open, however, and the son was very unhappy. I chalk it up to the cuts in funding that occurred under Gov. Blagojevich. :/

Hope you enjoyed the photos! Next time, I'll talk about menu planning. Until then -

Happy camping!

  1. I want to go camping now! Does the citronella oil keep away mosquitoes pretty good? By the way, thanks for all the advice and the pictures.

  2. You're welcome! :) Yes, the citronella oil does work pretty well at keeping those pesky skeeters away. I only had a couple of bites from our trip. You want to light the candles/torches before dusk for the best coverage. Spray yourself with insect repellent too, though.
