🌧️🏕️ Day 4 – The Wet & Wild Pack-Up! 💨💦🚙
What a way to finish our Lake Lyell camping adventure! 😂 Mother Nature saved the biggest challenge for the final night.🌃
🌧️ From 12am to 6am, we had heavy rain and strong winds hammering the campsite. Unfortunately, our canopy couldn’t survive the night and came crashing down! 😭💨 Everything underneath it — chairs, tables, gas stove, gas bottles, eskies, napkins, kitchen rolls… EVERYTHING — was absolutely soaked! 💦💦 Water dripping from everywhere!
And then came the tent disaster! 😂⛺ We forgot to close the second zip on one side of the tent, and by morning that section had turned into our very own indoor swimming pool! 🏊♂️🤣
Floating around in the water were our airbed, clothes rucksack, medicine box and shoes! 👟🎒💊💦 Definitely not the kind of lakeside experience we had planned! 😂
Then came the challenge of packing an entire campsite while everything was soaking wet 🌧️📦 Wet tents, wet gear, wet chairs… straight into the cars and deal with it when we get home! 😅
But spirits were still high! ❤️ After finally packing up, we headed to Lithgow and rewarded ourselves with a much-needed brekkie at ☕🍳🥓 — warm food never tasted so good!
Then it was time for the scenic journey home 🚙💨:
📍 Lake Lyell → Lithgow → Wisemans Ferry → Spencer → Wyoming 🏞️🛣️
4️⃣ days of freezing temperatures ❄️, magical sunrises 🌅, campfires 🔥, lakeside cooking 🍳, rain 🌧️, crazy winds 💨, plenty of laughs 😂 and some unforgettable camping lessons!🏕️
Would we do it again? ABSOLUTELY! 🏕️❤️
Another adventure wrapped up for Shay and Prie Travels 🌏🚙✨
Until the next one…! 🏕️🔥❤️
