Mountain Lakes Camp - Arrival

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Sat May 05, 2012 11:49 pm

One of the things about flying everywhere? It didn't give you a heck of a lot of reason to learn to drive, or in this case drive anything bigger than a motorcycle. Thus, Ryan found himself riding in the oversized van instead of driving, and was the first one out, stretching as they got to their campsite. "Ah, there we go," he said, looking around. "Haven't been camping in ages."

The campsite was well-located, with a river nearby, which apparently ran to the lake a short ways away. It didn't appear to be a busy weekend, and other campsites were scattered farther apart to give people privacy. The forest was nearby, the opposite direction from the lake, and all in all it was a cozy little setting.

Victoria's car pulled up behind the bus, Victoria having elected to drive her own damn self (and whatever girl felt the urge to ride with her), with the back seat and trunk filled with gear.

"I love this campsite." Christie said to Ryan as she got out of the van.

by **Thomas Bowen** » Sun May 06, 2012 1:38 am

"Yeah, it seems nice.. Tommy said, peeking out one of the van windows.

by **Kay Haddock** » Sun May 06, 2012 4:50 am

"Even better than on the pictures." Kay nods, giddy that people seem to like it.

by **Christine Bowen** » Sun May 06, 2012 11:03 am

"Its a really cool campsite, and if we're lucky the lake won't be freaking freezing."

by **Kay Haddock** » Sun May 06, 2012 11:55 am

"I hope so!" she says, immediately getting embarrassed at her enthusiasm.

by **Jason Black** » Sun May 06, 2012 12:10 pm

Jason looked around as he got out.

"This place is nice!" he said enthusiastically, "Nothing like home... but still!"

by **Thomas Bowen** » Sun May 06, 2012 12:36 pm

Tommy exited the van as well, walking down to the lakeshore, and dipping his fingers experimentally.

by **Alex Carpenter** » Sun May 06, 2012 3:13 pm

"Yeah, yeah, no palm trees and hula girls, we know," Alex joked as he came out of the van.

by **Jason Black** » Sun May 06, 2012 3:34 pm

"Pfft, hula girls are just for tourists."

by **Haley Crusek** » Sun May 06, 2012 11:26 pm

Haley looked significantly less enthused than when she'd signed up. Her phone was already halfway dead from the drive up, she STILL had a pretty nasty bruise on her forehead, and now there was basically no cell service here in the damn woods.

The fact that Alex and Brigid seemed to be an item now had NOTHING to do with it, nope...

She sighed and hopped out of the truck, stretching and looking around.

"Seems pretty," she nodded approvingly.

by **Kay Haddock** » Mon May 07, 2012 2:01 am

"Come on, guys, lets get unloading."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Mon May 07, 2012 2:16 am

Alex, for his part, was carrying two people's worth of it by... well, effectively being two people. "Hope someone's pitched a tent before, because I sure haven't," he mused.

by **Victoria Valentine** » Mon May 07, 2012 2:19 am

"Pfff, that sounds like the sort of thing I make a boy do for me," Victoria chuckled s she started unloading the stuff that was in her car.

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Mon May 07, 2012 12:03 pm

Stephanie smirked, "I can show you all. It's not that hard--I've been setting up campsites since I was six."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon May 07, 2012 12:53 pm

"Don't worry about it," she said to Alex as she unloaded. "I'll make sure we stay dry."

by **Maggie Ferguson** » Mon May 07, 2012 1:33 pm

Maggie took a deep breath of the fresh air as she started unpacking some of what she had brought.

by **Jason Black** » Mon May 07, 2012 6:20 pm

Jason too began unpacking his camping stuff.

"Never been camping? Really?" he asked Alex curiously.

by **Thomas Bowen** » Mon May 07, 2012 9:17 pm

Tommy likewise began dragging his oversized backpack out of the van, struggling a bit.

by **Haley Crusek** » Mon May 07, 2012 10:39 pm

Haley smiled sympathetically at Tommt, and gave him a little TK boost to help him get his bag out of the van.

by **Colin Davis** » Tue May 08, 2012 2:15 pm

"So, how rustic is everyone willing to get?" Colin and Colin's pack dropped out of a near by tree.

by **Kay Haddock** » Tue May 08, 2012 2:19 pm

"I'm not sleeping in a tree, if that's what you mean." she chuckles, shouldering her backpack.

by **Colin Davis** » Tue May 08, 2012 2:26 pm

"Party pooper." he smiled and made his way over to the van to lend a hand.

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Tue May 08, 2012 2:29 pm

"I knew a Davis kid would be wanting to sleep outside with no tent," Stephanie smirked as she continued to heft heavy things out of the back of the van.

by **Colin Davis** » Tue May 08, 2012 2:47 pm

Colin tilted his head and took a breath, "Oh..you know my sister." he said smiling.

"Something tells me you didn't need much convincing either. She'd be out here too, depending on the mood she's in and even then there's no telling if there'd be a huge generator and air mattress or not."

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Tue May 08, 2012 3:29 pm

"Of course I know your sister, you goof. We roomed together senior year."

((just made that up. Feel free to dispute and I'll edit))

by **Christine Bowen** » Tue May 08, 2012 3:41 pm

Christie unloaded her bags, then quietly started to help arrange the tent,occasionally looking over at Brigid.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Tue May 08, 2012 4:09 pm

Brigid for her part seemed to be in her element, and was helping Alex unpack and set up camp, oblivious to any death-glares.

by **Haley Crusek** » Tue May 08, 2012 4:13 pm

Death glares which Haley provided in abundance.

by **Colin Davis** » Tue May 08, 2012 7:33 pm

"Oh, right. thought you smelled familiar." He rubbed the back of his head.

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Tue May 08, 2012 8:18 pm

"It's okay," she teased, "who pays attention to their *annoying* older sister's friends." she emphasized with a playful scoff.

by **Thomas Bowen** » Tue May 08, 2012 9:17 pm

Tommy set up a little bit, before frowning at the frosty response between Brigid, Christy and Haley.

by **Melody Martens** » Tue May 08, 2012 9:34 pm

"Do you know what the fuck we're doing T-Bow?" Haley smirked, holding one small rolled up tent. "Cuz I don't."

by **Thomas Bowen** » Tue May 08, 2012 9:40 pm

"No plans as far as I know, Haley.. Just do your own thing, I guess."

Tommy did his best to set up his tent, but it was pretty clear camping wasn't his thing.

by **Haley Crusek** » Tue May 08, 2012 9:43 pm

"I meant with the tents, goofy," she grinned.

by **Thomas Bowen** » Tue May 08, 2012 9:53 pm

"Oh.. Well then, not at all." he replied, smiling back.

by **Christine Bowen** » Tue May 08, 2012 11:50 pm

"Need a hand, T-bow?"

by **Thomas Bowen** » Tue May 08, 2012 11:55 pm

"Maybe a little?" he replied.

"I never really did this stuff when we camped with Bobby.."

by **Haley Crusek** » Wed May 09, 2012 12:00 am

"I'm sure he's got it, Christie," Haley said cooly. "He's a smart guy."
