Back from camping

A hot dry weekend is always better under the trees!

It was our very timely ladies’ camping weekend. We went to Panther Creek Campground in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, just north of Carson, Washington.

Rocks in Panther Creek

The water in the creek is clear and cold, perfect for a bracing dip on a hot day. The rocks are such pretty colors, too.

Panther Creek Falls

Panther Creek Falls is a twisty drive of 4.7 miles up the road, and then a very short hike. You can go down to the bottom of the falls. Stunning!

What a gorgeous beetle.

Tai chi

The tent pad at the vacant site next to ours made a great tai chi space.

I played with beads (ankle bracelets)

and I almost finished this project. We’ll see if blocking makes the brioche patterning show up better in the green section. Super fun to knit.

We also played games and just had a great time hanging out. It was a perfect weekend with friends.

How was your weekend? Hot? Do you knit when it’s hot? I always knit!
