Yesterday, Alex asks me if I want to go scout out some potential locations for a short bike-camping trip I'm planning for this weekend. Shortly after, we're in his car, headed down the coast. Our first stop is Pine Island and the lakes that encircle it. I've biked by a couple times, but never investigated it! We find that the area is well traveled, hunted, and watered (it has rained a lot recently)... Not ideal for camping, but we could make it work! It is very beautiful, that's for sure. We walked around for a while and checked out both East and West Pine Island Lakes. I spotted a beaver in East Pine Island lake on our way out. We then moved on to the second location we had scoped out in google maps. The second location was down the road a little ways further. From the maps, it just appeared to be a road leading off into the woods. Could it be a good access site? It would appear so! We found a few spots where we could pitch a tent on South Mountain Batholith outcrops.
It was on our way back into town that we started talking about a blog post (link below) about the author's goal to go camping 30 nights over the summer. Now, it is half-way through June, so we may have to alter the time frame a bit, but we decided it would be fun to give it a go ourselves! However, we then started talking about how much we enjoy winter camping... We both love winter camping, a lot. It would be a shame to not stretch this into the winter as well! Of course, the logical solution is to extent the time frame, and accordingly extrapolate the number of nights. So, here we are, embarking on an adventure that will see us sleep outside 100 of the next 365 nights!
