My Camping Trip
We have a long weekend on 20th may due to memorial day. Every body planned for some fun and we were also not behind. My friend Rahul was planning to come here from Dayton.Sunil suggested why not we should go for camping in Virginia. The idea looked good to all of us and we finalized that we would be going to Virginia for camping and will also go to famous Virginia Beach. So our plan was that we will meet on Washington D.C. on Saturday will cover some part of D.C. and then will move for camping and will decide what to do next on camping.After finalizing the trip, we started planning our camping trip. I suggested let me call one of my friend Amrit Tiwana as more friend mean more fun. Amrit also called Sidhu and Rahul said he will come with Manish. So finally we were 6 friends for our camping trip.
We decide to go to Lake Anna State park and booked the camping site there.
So on Saturday myself, Amrit and sidhu reached Washington at around 1 pm while Sunil,Rahul and Manish also reached there.In Washington we saw some white building and thought that we have reached around White House so we parked our car but actually it was capitol Building. Our other friends were near White House. Now the chaos started to find them and after 2 hrs we were able to meet.
At Washington D.C.
Amrit and Sidhu
After spending some time in Washington DC we decided to move to camping site in Virginia. We still have to get the tent and grocery so it was decided that we will do the grocery while Sunil group will get the tent. So we separated and begin our journey towards camping site.

We reached there around 9:00 pm but Sunil group meet with small accident. There car stepped out of the road and fell in small gadda. They have to call the 911 and after 2 hours some one came with crane and pulled there car. They reached in Camp around 2:00 am. Immediately we setup the camp. Camp site was good and all the facilities like water, electricity, grills etc.
Enjoying at Lake
Manish and me at Boat
In the morning we went to beach, played volley ball and enjoyed there. Lake Anna is well known for its largemouth bass, crappie, bream. A variety of other freshwater fish can also be found. Also, a public boat launching ramp is available, along with many areas for bank fishing. Fishing required license which we don’t have so we took a round of Lake in boat.
Goldmine Tour
Cooking at Camping Site
After noon we enjoyed Goldmine tour. Lake Anna State Park used to be known as "Gold Hill" and contained the Goodwin Gold Mine. It provided plenty of information about how the mine operated and the history of gold mining in Virginia.
In the evening we cooked the food and have daroo , saroo etc. Amrit is good in cooking, he prepared the roasted Chicken and butter chicken. We all chipped in with some stuff.
It was great fun. I enjoyed it thoroughly.
