<\/a><\/p>\nOur destination was\u00a0Sherando Lake<\/a>\u00a0in the George Washington National Forest near Lyndhurst, VA. \u00a0 We didn’t have reservations, so we knew it might be iffy getting a campsite because the campground is very nice–and also very popular. \u00a0 Fortunately, we were able to get the next-to-the-last open site in the section with water and electric, and a trailer right behind us got the last site!<\/p>\n Our site was wide and level, and it didn’t take us too long to get set up. When we checked in, the ranger at the gate told us that they’d had trouble with bears recently, and when the camp host came to greet us, he also\u00a0warned us to make sure that all our food was securely stored. \u00a0They have big,\u00a0steel bear-proof storage containers on each site in this part of the campground.<\/p>\n After getting settled, we drove down to the lake and enjoyed some time in the sun and the water. \u00a0SUCH a pretty place!<\/p>\n When we got back to the campground, we stopped to admire our sweet little trailer sitting exactly where little trailers are supposed<\/em> to be–in a campground and not just in a driveway!\u00a0\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n We explored a trail along the creek that borders the campground, and checked out\u00a0the amphitheater.<\/p>\n Wayne always seems to run into someone he knows\u00a0when we’re out and about! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n We’d brought soup from home, so we heated it up on the camp stove and also got a fire going in the fire pit.<\/p>\n Even though the temperature was quite pleasant–especially for a night in August!–there’s just something so<\/em> relaxing about sipping coffee while sitting by a campfire….<\/p>\n Once the crescent moon set, we could see so many stars!<\/p>\n As clear as it had been that night,\u00a0however,\u00a0we were surprised to wake up to rain….<\/p>\n Without an awning or canopy, our plans for cooking breakfast outside weren’t going to happen. \u00a0At least we had coffee!<\/p>\n After a while,\u00a0we hitched up and rolled on home, thankful that we’d been able to enjoy beautiful Sherando lake and campground the previous day and evening!<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
