Thankfully, neither had to happen. Our handy friends were able to fashion a lock-picking device out of a marshmallow skewer and they managed to unlock the truck's back window where I had to shimmy through to unlock the rest of the doors -- below I am pictured emerging from the inside.
After the freeing of the truck keys, we mostly sat back and relaxed -- satisfied that collectively we had enough brains to figure out how to break into a Ford Ranger.
After going for a drive in the four wheel trucks, and after watching some others get stuck, then ticketed by the wildlife officer, we made ourselves a classic campfire and sat back with some beers to enjoy the evening. Scooter had spent the day running free like a wild dog -- sometimes a little too wild, so he was exhausted. You'll note in the picture below of me, my husband and Scooter, that Scooter is outfitted with his blaze-orange camping collar. That's right. He has the appropriate camping accessories.
Like I said in the "brief version," we had a lot of fun, and were pretty tuckered out when we returned home -- gritty with dirt. My friend arrived from out of town on Sunday night, and since then, we've been busy socializing and shopping. But I did manage to get a run in last night -- the first since last week's 5K. I don't know how much running I'll have time for this week, but next week, I've resolved to get back to it -- for sure.

As a Midwestern native, I'm embarrassed to admit that, outside of Girl Scout camp, I've never been camping. I really want to, but the opportunity hasn't come up. Looks like a load of fun!
u mean your husband doesn't wear his nacho libre costume camping???
sounds like u guys had lots of fun. i can't wait to bust out the tents and take my nephew camping for his first time this summer!
Sounds like tons of fun! I love camping... especially with friends, dog, and a cooler full of beer!
Awesome pics, Jess! Sounds like a great trip. Glad that you were able to get your vehicle unlocked.
Camping sounds like a blast! We do a lot of it here in Oregon, but I confess I've never camped in the swamplands of my native Florida before, although my grandparents took my sister and I "camping" on an island off the North Florida coast one evening when we were kids. We slept in a tent right outside their RV...in an RV park. Maybe someday we'll do the real camping in Florida. Looks like it was a lot of fun!
Glad you were able to get your keys out!! And, I loved the picture of you all especially of scooter - I think my scooter is jealous of yours freedom.
Sounds like fun! Do I see CANS of insect repellent on your table?
