oh, my. it's already nearly september and i have not written one single venture vermont entry and my excuse is i was BUSY.
like, i don't know if i will be able to complete the challenge busy. my ingress sojourner badge broke the weekend of my lifeguard training and i've barely played that since. because busy.
busy doing outdoor things, teaching outdoor things.
but let me try.
anyway, weekend of june 7-9 my girl scout troop camped at Little River State Park and of course there are no pictures of that i can share with you, but there are pictures and i could probably scare up a receipt if i had to.
the naturalist at little river will remember we were there, because as campers there were were the sunset adventure paddle and boy, wasn't that a time.
the weather was very nice, so for the first time ever i pitched my hammock and left the tarp off, and imma have to say that counts as sleeping under the stars; at least it counts as lying awake half the night under a blanket of "it's so pretty".
last time i checked sleeping under the stars had no requirement about sleeping on the ground. i'm not into that anymore. stars = A-OK. ground = nope.
since that first night (which i did because of this item on the challenge), i have enjoyed several other nights under the stars, a thing i had not done since maybe the late '70's?
i'm calling that one thing checked off on my list.

We slept under the stars in Kansas on our way back from New York. Under the stars, and under the INCREDIBLY BRIGHT full moon, and in the company of three raccoons that visited us in the night.
I will not be doing that again if I have any other option.
