two nights and three days of fun, sun and socializing.\u00a0 Coyote Lake was the same place Brandee and I were at a few weeks ago and we were nearly in the same location this time so we were well-prepared with knowledge of the campgrounds.\u00a0 I reserved a total of three campsites.\u00a0 Each campsite is big enough for 2-3 tents and Coyote Lake is also a dog-friendly campground so the finally tally of people and pets was as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>People:\u00a0 17!<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Pets:\u00a0 7!<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Yep, you got that right, 17 people and 7 dogs (pets)!\u00a0 It was SO much fun with all the activity going on.\u00a0 Never a dull moment.<\/p>\n<p><a

us technology nerds arrive at the campground with either non-existent, or at the best, weak internet signal so this indicated our sincere dedication to disconnecting from the cyber-world and connecting with each other (face-to-face) as people.\u00a0 Overall, this is absolutely what I enjoyed most about this particular excursion &#8212; the social interaction between all the groups was tremendous.\u00a0 One of the most amazing events happened, by total coincidence, which was remarkable.\u00a0 Four of us had worn t-shirts advertising different U.S. cities such as New York, Boston and San Jose.\u00a0 I assure you this was not planned but it was quite a hilarious experience!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a

boys\u2019 to enjoy. So we all gathered our lounge chairs on Chris\u2019 camp site and talked about solving the world\u2019s most serious problems (insert sarcasm here) as well as other topics way beyond my meager brains compute power. This picture does not pay true justice to all the fun of the event, however.\u00a0 Not pictured are all of the other campers, friends and family that came to socialize together.\u00a0 This was an absolute highlight for me to gather everyone in an informal setting and just being fun together.<\/p>\n<p>A personal highlight of this trip was a long, roughly 5+ mile walk I went on with Semyon and his wife.\u00a0 When I say long, I mean extremely long :-) but it was great fun.\u00a0 Neither Jack nor I are used to so much physical activity.\u00a0 Give me a computer keyboard and internet access and I&#8217;m wickedly active but long walks, I&#8217;m just not accustomed to.\u00a0 We walked nearly the entire length of the lake and back!<\/p>\n<p><a
