It was another successful camping trip to Yogi Bear in Hagerstown.  We were a large crowd - thirty-three all together.  The weather was made-to-order, and the festive activities of the host campground were nothing short of wonderful.  We arrived on Friday, 10/12, under slightly cloudy skies.  Setup was quick, uneventful, and dry.  Others arrived throughout the night filling in the camp sites and cabins.   Many of us enjoyed a stew dinner, followed by a roaring campfire and marshmallows.   Saturday was filled with activities.  Pumpkin and ceramic painting, a costume parade followed by costume judging, camper-to-camper trick or treat, then movies.  As the sun set and the ghosts came out, a haunted walk and haunted house were enjoyed by all (well maybe most) of the kids.  A late-night dance complete with DJ finished off the planned activities.  We all ate good throughout the day - starting off with a hearty "Breakfast Casserole" in the Dutch Oven (though a bit late in the morning for some folks), then sandwiches for lunch and burgers for dinner.  Night time saw a nice Dutch Oven cobbler, complete with Ice Cream.  The days were glorious throughout - warm 70's during the day, and cool/brisk 50's at night.  The air was filled with falling leaves all around us.  It truly was a wonderful weekend.
