Day 2 Adventures in Solo Camping

Day 2 of my epic solo female camping adventure, and let me tell you, it's been a rollercoaster of hilarity and unexpected challenges!

So, there I was, embarking on a moonlit quest to the bathhouse, my trusty white cardigan turning me into a fluffy pig in the chilly night breeze. It was like a scene straight out of a quirky rom-com, with RVs twinkling like stars and couples braving the cold for their "romantic as heck" riverside stroll despite the cold that could rival the Arctic. The bathhouse, however, was quirky. The door was mysteriously sliced in half, as if the architects couldn't decide where the door handle should go.

It's like a "choose your adventure" for half-sized humans! After my moonlit escapade, I'd smugly recounted my nighttime adventure in my diary, the heavens opened up, unleashing their watery fury. Miraculously, I managed to sleep through it, only to be woken by the gentle sound of raindrops tapping on my tent at dawn. Pitter-patter. Pitter-patter. But hey, I slept like a pig!

So morning came, and I was greeted by the scent of forest magic and a desperate need for a toiletry restock. Turns out, my fellow campers had turned the place into a toiletry free-for-all the night before. Not cool, guys! Note to self: pack enough toiletries to rival a hotel. Lesson learned.

Now, here's where it gets wild. I attempted an exit, but ended up in a comical game of "Circling Camrys." I did what I could with what remained and then faced the rain again. Lost in a bewildering game of ring-around-the-campsite, I eventually gave up and parked in what I thought was my spot.

When the sunrise peeked above the lake, I embarked on a wild goose chase to find my actual campsite. When I finally stumbled back to my tent, it seemed the rain had transformed into a waterfall, and my cozy haven was now a cozy sponge.

Breakfast was consumed while I contemplated my options, and after some frantic fumbling, I discovered a new purpose for the little bag I'd used the day before – it was now a makeshift tent hat, diverting the rainwater like a pig. Just when I thought things were under control, a park ranger showed up to gently remind me that I couldn't camp near the river during the daytime, but only around the table.

So, with rain-soaked gear in tow, I embarked on a 30-minute tent-moving extravaganza. Of course, the mud and leaves from the earlier downpour decided to play hard to get, making the whole process a comedy of errors. I mean, who doesn't love reassembling their tent while teetering on the brink of camping calamity? Campers, 0; Rain gods, 1.

Oh, the joys of solo camping! Rain, rangers, and tent-taming acrobatics—what's next, a bear asking for a tour of my humble abode? Stay tuned for more camping capers!
