This weekend our friends from Toronto came to visit and we had our first camping trip of 2010. We stayed at Little River State Park in Waterbury VT; it’s a great park with lots of nature/hiking trails and is located on the Waterbury Reservoir. We had intended to spend Friday and Saturday night camping but when the rain started and then the thunder we had one of the quickest tear downs, packed up the car and headed to our house.
However before we headed home we:
The boys fired up the camping stove and we had some yummy eats
veggie burgers and sweet potatoes
Then we took a drive to the Waitsfield Farmers Market where Neil and I enjoyed some black bean tamales that I unfortunately didn’t get a shot of. We took a drive up to the top of Stark Mountain where we proceeded to take a ton of photos.
Then after hitting up On The Rise for a vegan roll up we went on a hike back at the campground.
Following our almost 7.2K hike we relaxed at the beach and caught up on some trashy mag reading. Then it was time for dinner before the rain.
NO those are not mine or my hubby's cigarettes in the photo above
We enjoyed some brews while we cooked up some food; I heart Magic Hat and Wacko is a great summer beer.
Dinner was yummy lentil sweet potato tacos both soft and hard.
After dinner we roasted up some vegan marshmallows and topped the chocolate agave cupcakes that I made Emma for an early birthday “cake”.
Luckily we got our marshmallow roasting done early because then the thunder rolled in and the air grew thick and we decided to make a mad dash to get the entire camp picked up and go to our house….where it was sunny.
YAY for vegan camping! I’m so jealous that you are surrounded by such beautiful, wild, landscapes that you can spend time in. It is a huge thing that I miss about my college years in the USA.
Your veggie burgers look SO crispy and delicious, and those tacos – YUMMMM!
Sucks your camping trip was rained out. That happened to us at Veganstock last year too. Everyone’s camping gear was soaked! I REALLY want to try that Wacko beer. I tried Magic Hat #9 at a beer tasting a few weeks ago, and I LOVE it. But no place around here sells it by the six-pack…only a few beer bars have it on draft. I want it for the house!
Huzzah for camping! I am sorry to say though that i have never been 🙁 I do want to go this summer though, and I plan on making tons and tons of smores!
Looks like a good trip. We have to do some hiking when we get to VT this summer. And I LOVE Wacko! I’ll def. have to have that when we arrive in VT 🙂
where in VT do you usually go?
