Wet Pug!

We went camping this weekend at Windy Gap. Windy Gap is a Young Life camp located in Weaverville (12 miles from Asheville). A friend of the Peoples' works there, and since there were no campers this weekend, she invited a bunch of people up to go camping. We did not actually camp at the Windy Gap camp, but the Plunge Mountain camp, which is about 2 miles up the mountain from Windy Gap. Plunge Mountain is a "pioneer" campsite. There is a big cabin, but there is no indoor plumbing or running water. It's "rustic." I bet it is where they send the kids that are being bad at the Windy Gap camp - LOL!

So, here I am after a dip in the pond.



No, I don't actually swim. I just stand in the water up to my shoulders and watch the other dogs swim. Woman tried to get me to swim, but I wasn't having it. She took me into the water a little deeper than I could touch to see how well I can swim. I can explain my swimming technique in one word - flailing. Yes, I flail about and panic. It isn't pretty.

Copper, Chloe and Buddy went camping too. They all LOVE to swim! Here I am watching Chloe swim.



I wish I could have joined in the fun, but I am just a bad swimmer. Woman says she is going to get me a life jacket, but I doubt I will like it. I foresee more flailing in my future.



The People played on the slide ...



... and a thing called "the blob" where one person stands at the end of a big air mattress thing and another person jumps onto the air mattress thing and launches the person on the end into the air! Andy hit the water face-first. It looked painful but made a hilarious photo.



Here is a view of the pond. It's really pretty.



They have a lot of horses at Windy Gap, but we did not get to ride them. I was bummed about that. Maybe if you have one of those children things you may want to send them to this camp next year. It looks as fun as anything I've ever seen!

I will post more about my camping trip later. I don't want to spoil all the fun in one long post!
