what not to do

if you one day decide that you REALLY want to go camping...
and you buy a bunch of stuff to cook dinner and make breakfast
collect a bunch of wood and buy a lighter to make a fire
and dont forget those marshmallows that you really want to roast!
you drive up to the campsites and are so excited to spend the evening in the forest with your closest friends and set up that new tent you have been dying to sleep in
and ALL THE CAMPSITES ARE FULL?!!?
even the ones in other canyons, and so you frantically search for somewhere to stay because ALL you have been dreaming of all day is camping
so you try and try to come up with ideas on what to do...
i can tell you what NOT to do.
DO NOT go to lagoon campsite!
it is a huge let down.
we called them, asked if they had any campsites and they said SURE come on up. so we drove all the way to farmington
paid WAY too much to stay the night on some grass
realized they do not have fire pits OR barbeques so we couldn't cook our dinner that we prepared OR roast those yummy little marshmallows
and it was right next to the freeway, so all through the night i was woken up by way to many semi's.
i can honestly say the first camping trip of the season had a lot of potential, but it ended up being an epic fail.
not saying i didn't have fun with everyone i was with, but everything went wrong.
i hope that the rest of the camping trips i have this summer end up better then this one.
