Camping, Running, Ham Radios, and Jiffy Pop

Brad snagged us a campsite at one of our favorite spots, so we spent two nights at Timothy Lake at the end of July.

A trail circles the lake, and a run is a must for me! Up early to avoid the heat:

I started at the Gone Creek Campground boat ramp, running counterclockwise:

The trail is mostly smooth and very runnable - with views of the lake most of the way around.

This view stopped me in my tracks:

And... back to where I started:

The dirt tan was pretty epic :)

Brad biked while I was running. We both used my cool surfer poncho to disrobe, sponge off, and redress in the campsite.

I read two books, and Brad played with his ham radio setup - including hanging a small antenna in the trees: 

Mom let us use her trailer - a perfect setup for us:

Brad made his first-ever Jiffy Pop:

So fun and yummy!

A wonderful mid-week summer getaway to the mountains :)
