After 4 different camping trips in "civilized" camp grounds I had had enough! It was time for the real thing. We the family even Ammon jumped in the Jeep and headed to the hills.
We got off the freeway about an hour and a half north east of here and hit the dirt. About 8 or nine miles of dirt and 4 wheel drive roads took us to Fordyce Lake.
The drive took us up along a beautiful creek.
Oliver kept himself entertained quite a bit with his "Jeep" as he calls it.
We did a bit of fishing. Daddy got to untangle a couple of different messes.
Calvin can actually cast a line out there!. Oliver really enjoys pretending to cast by smacking the water with a full swing of his rod.
One great thing about this kind of camping is that Ammon can run free! He does great camping. Never really goes far but definitely enjoys the freedom to roam.
These boys really love each other. Truly best friends.
I felt so honored to be able to join them on the rock.
Christi saw no reason that back woods camping should prevent her from taking care of her womanly duties. Yes she is shaving her legs. Nice legs at that.
We took the Scrambler exploring a little. The Fordyce Lake is very close to the famous Fordyce 4X4 trail. We actually got stuck in the middle of this small creek crossing. A little bit of the winch and some proper rock placement remedied the situation.
Our long time friend Brent joined us for the weekend.
We were right down on the water. Very cool!

Very Nice. The whole package; hot wife, great kids, a Jeep that can stretch it's arms, a Captain to persuaide it to and a trailer to carry the staples. Well Done.

pascale,
Searching the internet for a good description of Fordyce Lake Road and came across your website. We have a ’07 Xterra (wife’s car) and was wondering if we could haul our kayaks up to Fordyce Lake. Do you mind emailing me with your thoughts? Sounds like the road to Sterling Lake turnoff is ok but I’m concerned about the rest of the way down to Fordyce. It’s just an Xterra right off the show room floor. Thanks!
