Another Sternod Camping trip

Well we are back from our 2nd camping trip of the year.

Weather sucked most of the time. Rain, high winds and was cold. We had one day of nice blue sky. Thank god we own a travel trailer. Ahhhhhh..... heat, kitchen, soft cozy bed and TV. My kind of camping anyways about the trip.

We stayed at Ike Kinswa State Park which is on the north side of Mayfield Lake, in Mossyrock. Great camp ground with very large sites. Our site was huge and had our own little beach. Emily claimed it was "Emily's Beach". We fished, caught nothing, but had a great time. My only complaint was at the actual park itself, not the camp ground, but the park there was goose, duck whatever they were, poop all over the place. It was nasty. Everywhere you stepped it was little bombs. Very gross. You couldn't even dodge them. They were EVERYWHERE!!!! Of course the girls are like "Whats that?" I'm like "Nothing DON"T TOUCH!!!"

I suggested the park either pay someone to start shooting the freakin birds or get themselves a good bird dog. Cause nothing can ruin a picnic like goose shit!!! So after staying 2 days at Ike Kinswa State Park, we moved down the lake a bit to Mayfield lake state park. Our site was not ready yet. So we decided to head on over to the MossyRock Trout hatchery. We thought well the girls love looking at fish, why not. This turned into quite a interesting story.....

Okay, we get to the hatchery, the girls are so excited to see fish. I take them over to these huge tanks with trout in them. Were looking at fish and then all of the sudden I see this black dog go flying through the air and land on top of the flimsy mesh top covering the tanks, then SPLASH!!!! Both dog and top go into the fish tank. I then realize....."Holy shit thats my fucking dog in there!" Tony had let the dogs out of the trailer to stretch there paws and go for a potty run. I quickly sprung into action and had to rescue my dog. The girls are crying and screaming, Tony's running. I get her by the collar and dragged her out. Now what the fuck am I going to do????? The tank top is broken and in with the trout. We probably just killed a few. There is NO ONE around, to tell. So what do I do? Do I write a note explaining that my dog just took out part of your tank, who I'm sure wasn't even supposed to be there in the first place, OR throw everyone in the truck and get the Fuck out of dodge and just pretend nothing happened. Yup you guessed it...... we quickly got the hell out of there. LOL... Moral of the story don't take your dogs to the fish hatchery!!! I bet who ever showed up to work at the hatchery was like "what the fuck happened here?" I was just waiting for the news to report vandalism at the MossyRock Trout Hatchery.


After that we got to our site, it rained, poured, high winds, cold!!! The site itself was very nice and right on the water. All in all not a bad trip. At least we had a nice cozy trailer to hang in and a good story to share.
