Sunny and I camped overnight at Money Creek Campground off Highway 2. Money Creek is a beautiful campground situated along a bend in the Skykomish River. Sunny and I had visited the campground last year on our way to Leavenworth, so I knew the best spot to reserve for our trip. The campground did not disappoint us, it was gorgeous! We pitched our tent right above the river and went for a walk around the campground. The only negative thing about Money Creek is that the railroad passes alongside the campground. We heard two trains pass within a short period of time. Later that evening we started a roaring campfire and cooked our dinner over a propane burner.

We slept under a clear night filled with stars until it was so cold I had to put the rainfly up to keep in some heat. The roar of the river accompanied us into sleep.

That morning as we were preparing to cook breakfast, Sunny volunteered to cut kindling for the fire. As she was chopping wood, she cut her finger on the hatchet! The cut seemed pretty bad so I packed up the site and we drove to a walk-in-clinic. The cut turned out to be nothing more than a scratch! Aside from the war wound, Money Creek proved to be a wonderful and relaxing night out under the stars.
