I made it back from field camp and I started taking Chemistry II right away. Whew! John and I celebrated the halfway point of my chemistry class by going camping in Pennsylvania. I found a park called Penn-Roosevelt State Park. The campsite we went to was a walk-in site, so we had to walk into the woods about 500 feet to get to it. There weren't very many people there and it was nice and secluded. 
We went hiking around Greenwood Furnace State Park about 12 miles from Penn-Roosevelt. This was an old settlement where they used to make charcoal and pig iron. This is a big furnace where they would make iron.
Post-hiking reward!
The second day we were camping the afternoon was very nice, but right around 4:30 pm, it started to rain. We took a nap in our tent and waited to the rain to stop. We had a campfire and right when we were putting it out, it started pouring again! In the middle of the night our tentpole busted with a loud CRACK! Thankfully the whole works didn't fall down. It was still raining the next morning and we had to put everything in the car wet, but it all got dried out on our porch when we got back.
