We had our first Rocky Mountain Steemit Camping Trip! (See my announcement). We hung out in nature and got to know each other... and magically didn't talk crypto until the third day???? No one could have predicted that. Here are a couple of the other posts that other campers made:
@rebele's woodpecker
@intuitivejakob's puppy Jolie
Everyone who came filled some very specific roles within the temporary camping community that we built:
If something was forgotten,
was able to rig something up to replace it. He had a ton of gear and experience to make the trip run smoothly!
Karen- the Mama Bear
's wife (of 15 years- they celebrated their anniversary with us!) would often sit and chat, making sure everyone was comfortable.
The nights were cold, but after Karen brought the firewood, @Torico spent her nights mucking about in the firepit. She was a vast source of information on how to best put the fire out, how to start the fire, and the best way to keep the fire going.
Jakob had all kinds of fun toys- walking sticks, vibram shoes, a sling to carry his puppy Jolie along on the hike. He's a man who knows what he needs!
I had my first opportunity to meet
at the camping trip, and even though it was short, he was such a great addition!
Harmony- The Kid
Harmony was so sweet, innocent, and exuberant. She and her father came up towards the end of the trip, and she brought the energy level way up, simply by being there. My favorite quote from her: "This is the best camping trip ever!"
Jolie- the Diva
Little Jolie was not afraid to let her dad (
) know when she wasn't happy- when the fire was popping, or when he was too far away from her. She loved having a lap to cuddle!
Charlie wandered around the campsite, smiling even when she had literal burrs on her butt. While a little shy at first, she really enjoyed being around her humans for the entire trip.
Joel knew exactly how to relax and how to make sure everyone around him was too.
I put the whole shindig together, but ultimately, could not have done it without everyone else! What a fun trip, and thank you to everyone who made it out!
