This weekend I took my first camping trip in Arizona. My friend, J, and I went to Woods Canyon Lake. (J wishes to remain anonymous so you won't see pictures either.) We drove about 2 1/2 hours northeast of Phoenix. Surprisingly, you get out of the desert and into the mountains pretty quickly. The lake is on the Mogollon Rim, which is at approximately 7,500 feet. With all the pine trees, I kept thinking I was in Colorado, not Arizona! I can tell there's a lot I need to learn about this state.
I took Bentley camping even though I had no idea how he would do. Turns out he didn't do too badly. He liked being able to explore the campground as I gave him a long rope. He got plenty dirty, but it was cute. As J said, Bentley was our entertainment. The best part was he slept through the night...I was really worried that every little bump and rustle would keep him (and us) up.
The weekend was a completely relaxing one. I had a rough week at work and it took some time to get my mind off of those things. Luckily, being outside and having nothing to do really helps. (J even cooked all the meals - I simply did dishes.) By Saturday, all stress was gone and I just relaxed all weekend.
