FORWARD:<\/strong>\u00a0 This is repost of an online post I made in September of 2007 after my boys and I spent a weekend camping in the Laguna Mountains.\u00a0\u00a0 I am in the process of updating my page and maps on the area.\u00a0 While doing this I noticed I did not have this story\u00a0anywhere on my site.\u00a0 This post here is designed to “capture” the story within my site.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Me and my boys are in between thier youth hockey seasons right now so we took advantage of one of the free weekends to get in a little camping and riding in the Laguna Mountains. While the biking was not the primary goal for the weekend we had a lot of fun and I am quickly starting to get a couple little dirt addicts on my hands. We got to the Laguna campground late in the afternoon Friday and just did get setup before dark. Saturday morning we took a spin around the Big Laguna Trail.<\/p>\n

The BLT is a great place to take kids that are looking for a “big” ride. My youngest Jake was getting a bit bounced around on the uphills with rocks so we stopped and did some sessioning on how to unload the front wheel when going over the stuff. He picked it up really quick and owned the stuff the rest of the morning.<\/p>\n

We stopped and messed around with the cows

Hmmm……..cranberry sauce, gravy…..<\/p>\n

By 1PM we were out on nearby Lake Cuyamaca fishing. The keyword is Fishing NOT catching.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So it was Chicken for dinner that night. The rest of the evening we spent screwing around with the fire, smores, and flaming balls of marshmellow goo.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The next morning we decided to do the BLT in the other direction this time.<\/p>\n

Stopping to check out the Indian Motareos(sp?) (In case your wondering my oldest boy Will gets that from his Mother<\/p>\n

Jake’s handiwork with the camera.<\/p>\n

And Will messing with the camera around camp.<\/p>\n

After the ride, we took our time breaking down camp and where rolling towards home by 1:30pm. It was a great weekend with the boys and if you are ever looking for a good place to take your kids beyond the local parks this place is pretty good in my book.<\/p>\n
