It Begins

So it begins!!!

If you look at the list of places that myself and Ringo aspire to visit(located at your right) you'll notice that a lot of them aren't exactly easy, or cheap expeditions, and for a couple of poor, young, car-less girls seem a little bit unrealistic. But fret not, we don't expect to get to them all before we're thirty. We expect it to take us an entire lifetime, we WANT it to take an entire lifetime, and as mentioned before since we are poor girls we have planned to start out small. Which bring us to the first of many adventures.

Camping. REAL camping.

I have grown up going on camping trips with my family, not vacations... Ringo has not. So for our first real trip together I'm ecstatic to torture her with a hardcore, in the middle nowhere, sleeping on the ground... in tents, week long, showerless campground, Thumbkin family camping trip. It'll be interesting to say the least.

We will be camping at Lost Lake in northeast Washington, west of a little town called Republic... I.E. the middle of nowhere. I've never been before which is always exciting, but funnily enough I have heard of Republic for a VERY long time as my best friends & neighbor's grandparents own some property and horses there... useless tibit of information for yah. There will great memories made and LOTS of lessons learned.

A few things on the agenda so far:

Fly fishing lessons, and for Ringo fishing lessons in general. The fly fishing should be... hazardous at best... you might wanna keep us in your prayers so we don't kill each other with flies in our heads.. or other body parts. Thankfully there won't be any dogs to swallow the flies as that is NOT fun... not that I'd have any experience with THAT........

Lots of GREAT campfire songs... stay tuned.

A obscene amount of water play and sunbathing... EXCITED.

Lastly AND most important, eating a lot of food.

I will now stop with the boring explanations of what we're going to do and leave it till we get back! Not quite sure how we're going to update ya'll on all the adventure but keep an eye out for anything in the form of video, picture, or English language!

Also, I believe Ringo will post a playlist for the "nobody really knows how long" car ride there!
