By Small and Simple Things: Our weekend adventure

This weekend my husband and I went on a little adventure. We wanted to go check out The City of Rocks and on our way we took a little detour through Camas Centennial marsh. I saw some pictures of Camas lilies on the internet and also one of my friends suggested that I should go check it out. It was a lovely place and we saw a lot of birds but I think we were too early for the Camas lilies.

While we were there we realized that it was going to take us about three hours to get to The City of Rocks. It was getting late so we decided to stay at a camp near by instead of driving all the way to The City of Rocks. The first camp sign we saw was just after we passed Fairfield and we decided to check it out. We drove awhile but didn't see any sign of a camp ground. We were getting a little worried and stopped on the side of the road and studied the map. Our phone wasn't helpful because it couldn't accurately locate where we were. We ended up staying at the camp ground by Magic reservoir. We enjoyed a beautiful sunset.

This morning we drove to The City of Rocks. The wind was a little cold but overall it was a lovely day. We saw people on horse back, people riding ATVs, and people doing rock climbing. There were 60 plus camp sites and some picnic areas. We hiked to Box top rock. I was surprised to see so many wild flowers and wildlife there.
