River Meadows Yurt Day 1 Friday
We left after dinner and in perfect style, we BARELY made it into River Meadows Yurt Village before the gate closed at dusk/dark. This yurt village is so sweet and very clean. We grabbed a cart, loaded up our stuff, took it down the gravel path to our yurt #5. We set up our sleeping bags and started our FIRST CAMPFIRE! Then we flopped into bed. Every first night camping should have the token SLUG!
We almost hit a deer on the way up (we almost clipped it with the rear view mirror). It was standing on the shoulder, which was about 3 inches wide. John thinks it is "ironic" that the only wildlife photo is of the slug!
Love that my daughter wears a skirt camping! I thought those were marshmallows but they are doughnut holes (we did smores Saturday night).
Our yurt was 16' diameter, contained a small coffee table, queen size futon and a large industrial size bunk bed. And a broom. Oh, and a stick that opens the skylight. Outside is a small porch, fire pit, picnic table and street light. One thing I really liked was that is wasn't DIRTY like camping. There was grass all around and gravel under the picnic table and paths. Each yurt has a door and LOCK and we are assigned our own bathroom with a key. Photos to come on that one.
