Grayson Highlands

7/4 - 7/9/17 (5 nights)
2017 bag nights: 18
Campsite: Beartree Campground in Mt. Rogers NRA

We met friends from school at Beartree Campground outside of Damascus VA for 5 nights of camping. All together we had 7 adults and 9 kids between age 1 and 9 (8 were older than 4).

We got our tents set up and strung up some tarps since rain was expected. And then the adults spent a lot of time hanging out and catching up while the kids ran wild. We were the only people in the group site for the first 3 nights, so there was no one to be bothered by our noisy kids.

The campsite was surrounded by blooming rhododendron. I spent a little bit of time one morning with my camera.

The highlight of the trip was an excursion to Grayson Highlands State Park for a little bit of hiking...

... and to check out the famous ponies.

A great way to spend a couple days with old friends.
