Last February me and my colleaque went on a day hike (previous thread) around a swamp nearby. At that trip we noted that there was a nice ready-made camp site a few miles from the nearest forrest road, and decided that we should go to an over-night trip there someday. Last weekend we did just that. Here's a couple of pics, enjoy!
Here's the campsite.
We didn't have tents, so we slept in that wooden shelter. My sleeping bag wasn't really adequate, since the temperature at night was just above freezing, but I got a few hours of sleep, which was plenty for a one-night trip. The rest of the night I just listened to the birds and chilled.
The view from our camp.
Starting a fire.
The firewood was damp, so after getting the fire going, we dried up some firewood around it. That's why the fireplace seems so stacked. And that bottle... ermm... Dunno. Someone must have forgotten it there.
Company
A bird was pretty intrested on who we were, and kept us company the entire evening.
Chilly spring night, and a good fire. What could be better?
The view wasn't bad at night time either.
Heading back home. In the picture: your's truly.
The swamp we circled.
Another pic of the swamp...
Frog.
This little fella was bathing in the morning sun on a forest road. Wasn't too pleased that we sticked a camera to his face, so we left him alone after taking a few pics.

The trip was really relaxing, even though it was only for two days (yeah, I have to stare at a computer screen during office hours too). And while it was too cold to sleep the whole night, I anticipated it... So, I only had my old crappy speeping bag, but I didn't mind. A couple of hours of sleep was enough, and I enjoyed just laying there half the night, listening to the birds waking up and looking at the sunrise
