Chataway

This past weekend my boyfriend and I went on a camping trip to Chataway Lake near Merritt. I had never been there before but Ryan had a few years back. I am so happy we chose to go there. It was beautiful. We originally had campsite #6 booked, but when we got there the owner, Pete, told us we could choose whichever campsite we wanted since there was no one else booked. Awesome! We ended up choosing campsite 11. Right in front of the lake. And the whole weekend no one else showed so we had the entire strip of lake front all to ourselves! There were people staying in cabins but they were far away on the other side of the lake.

We went fishing quite a bit in Ryan's boat using his new motor. I caught a couple trout but they were too small to keep. Which is cool because I love letting them go back into the water. We went on a hike on Saturday around the entire lake. A beautiful walk, only took about 45 minutes.
We plan on going back again next year and making sure we get campsite 11 again. We're supposed to be going to Bolean Lake in a couple weeks. I hope it works out! I love camping so much and this trip made me realize how much I've missed it. Getting away from reality is really good from time to time. And this is for sure one of my favorite ways to do so.
