Escape to wilderness!

Our gang (14 of us) went on a camping trip to Mark Twain State Park, Missouri over the weekend. Here are some pics from the trip.


View from our cabin....

View during trek.....

Dark clouds rolling in..."Megam karukkidhu"

Some pleasant memories of the trip :

  • Beautiful cabins ..altho no water suppy or toilet facilties. Had to walk for 10 mins to get to water and restrooms.
  • Waking up to a hot cup of tea, and a beautiful view.
  • Campfire songs....
  • Lying down on the ground watching the moon and stars.
  • Driving a Dodge Armada....never driven an SUV before!!! It was rocking!!
  • Never missed the internet or phone (no signal) for a moment (in one of my posts I say that I cannot live without either...seems like I very well can!
  • I thought being with 14 people for 48 hours will be overwhelming but it was awesome!!

Wish I could have stayed here for ever.......
