Ok, not literally my house, but my forest! Check it out!! Betcha didn't know I had my own national forest! Or that it had so many uses!
Friday evening, Jarad & I along with our pals Cole & Maura, headed up past Kamas, UT toward Duschene to the Iron Mine campsite. After a wee drive, we arrived and set up camp. After doing so we were famished and decided on making a fire and roasted some dinner. The hotdogs were delicious and we also enjoyed mallows and roasted starbursts and banana boats! We ended the evening with some fun chats and then hit the sack.
Saturday AM we woke up, ate some oatmeal and hot cocoa/cider and then drove up the mountain to the Grandview Trailhead to get in some hiking. We hit the trail and went all the way to Grand-Daddy lake, which ended up being about 6 miles roundtrip. The hike was fun and we took some fun pics at the lake.
Me & Jar- loving the outdoors!
Grand-Daddy lake- and a little one next to it- Hades Lake.
Jarad & I and Cole & Maura- we've made it to the top!
All of the hiker's feet...dirty and sore.
Me being ubber tuff!
Aren't his muscles so big?!
After completing the hike, we were driving home and decided we needed more firewood to really have an awesome fire. So the boys came up with the brilliant idea of collecting some wood on the drive back to camp from the trailhead. This is the fatty log that they stuck in the back of my car along with many other pieces of wood. After getting back to camp, we ate some lunch, played some games and just chilled for a while. Maura & I snuck a nap and the boys started making dinner without us! Thank you Jarad & Cole!
After our nap, we made our tin-foil dinners...mmmmmm...so good! And then for dessert...
Dutch oven apple cobbler!!! It just doesn't get any better than dessert from the dutch oven!
After another wonderfully large fire, many roasted mallows and starbursts and lots of chatting and laughing...we hit the sack again. However, we were awoken in the night by a mountaineous rain. By the time we woke up most of the rain had past, but we didn't want to get dumped on again in the middle of making breakfast. So, we pulled the tarp out from under our tent and put it up as a make-shift shelter.
Jar & Cole ...nice and dry under the tarp.
Cole & Maura
Me & Jar- We love camping!!!
