The Skylands Womyn Riders went on our first camping trip September 26-28, 2014, at Otter Lake Campground in Marshalls Creek, PA, in the heart of the Pocono Mountains.
Our first order of business was setting up the tents... an exercise in laughter and discovery, such as we learned we needed a hammer to pound the stakes into the gravel that was to be our floor for the weekend.
Done! We wandered around admiring our handiwork and each other's bikes.
Next was a run, or, rather, walk to the camp store where we stocked up on supplies such as snacks and liquid refreshment, and where we met Mr. Otter.
The late-summer sun shining over Otter Lake made for a peaceful and serene experience.
We met another group of women at a neighboring campsite. These ladies came well prepared, with festive lighting and all! Then again, they drove cars to the campground instead of motorcycles.
Before we settled in at our campsite, we took a walk around the campground to admire the setting sun casting its warm glow over the lake.
After dinner, we roasted S'mores over a campfire and talked and laughed until, one by one, we retired to our tents.
We arose Saturday morning to wonderful riding weather, saddled up and explored the beautiful back roads of the Pocono Mountains., stopping for lunch along the way, and then headed back to the campground.
Stay tuned for future camp 'n' ride adventures with the Skylands Womyn Ryders!
