Camping at landcruiser park Day 1

So this weekend I went on my first camping trip with Jason, "Uncle" Pete and Brad. We went out to Landcruiser mountain park, which is completely designed for just for 4wd's. There are 3 different grades of trail you can try and conquer with green being the easiest and red being the hardest, yellow coming in between.

We arrived on Saturday about lunch time and proceeded to set up our tent ("uncle" Pete and Brad had arrived earlier and had set up their trailer etc). So here are some of the pics:


It was actually quite a task to put the tent up it took all of us quite a while to do it. Well, after we established our campsite, we decided to head out and try to conquer the mountains, we had so much fun - here are the photos:




These photos above were all on a yellow decline - the worst part was when we got down the bottom and realised that we had taken a wrong turn, the only way to get back was to come back up! This was quite interesting and scary to watch seeing as i have never done anything to this extent before. "Uncle" Pete just gunned it and got up rather quickly, we took a slower approach t0 but just quick enough to make it up the mountain.

We got the paj a little dirty:





Then no night with uncle Pete and Brad would be complete without a fire: (this is my favourite photo)

Sounds like an awesome place. I'm jealous, we haven't been camping since before Riley was born and I just know he would love camping. Did you do marshmallows over that fire?
