Last weekend (Columbus Day Weekend), a group of us decided to go camping at the fales in Vatia. Vatia is located on the north side of the island and to get there you have to drive over a pretty steep pass. The view from the top is amazing.
This is a view of Pago Harbor on the way up the pass:
Below is a view of our beach from the top of the pass:

Here's the campground (the next 2 pictures were stolen from Ned's blog because I forgot to take pics of the fales):
There is a fresh-water shower where you can rinse off after playing in the ocean:

Folks spent the day hanging out in the fales and snorkeling and swimming at the beach. Some of the boys played football with a few of the local Samoan kids, and another group drove down the road to go diving. When it started to get dark, we BBQ'd up some food and headed down to the beach for a bonfire. The weather was beautiful and it was fun night on the beach.

The next day, everyone was exhausted and spent some time on the beach soaking up the sun before we all piled in our cars and headed home:
Even Suka & Meli had their fill of fun for the weekend and settled in for the drive home:
