Labor Day Weekend

So we're back from our camping trip. It was fun. We went back to the same place we went last weekend, but stayed at a different site. We got there Thursday afternoon and set up camp at Meadow Creek Campground. It was right next to a river, and I loved the noise!

Adam and I went for a short hike (because, as much as I try, I just don't like hiking) and then we went back to camp for the evening. On Friday Adam climbed Mt. David (7,420ft.) in only 8 hours while I went fishing. That was a fiasco. I caught a 10 inch brook trout, and had wanted to throw it back, but it swallowed the hook, and pretty much started dying right away. I had to "finish it off" which is the only thing I can't do while fishing. I didn't bring a knife or anything with me, since I thought I'd throw it back, so I borrowed some little boys.

Once back at camp I was standing in the river washing my bloody fish pants and Adam's huge hunting knife. My neighbor stared at me for a while, and then went back into her Truck RV. By the look on her face, she seemed to be wondering where my partner was, why was I covered in blood, and what did I need such a huge knife. She looked relieved when I came back with Adam.

Jay and Jennie, Adam's friends, joined us on Friday night. It was fun to have other people with us. Jennie and Adam climbed Basalt Peak (5,500 ft) on Saturday, while Jay and I went fishing. Fishing wasn't to great, and so we went back to the camp site to wait for Adam and Jennie to return. I took a nap, and Jay went fly fishing. Not sure exactly how Adam can hike for so long two days in a row and not fall over from exhaustion. Although his ankle was pretty sore Saturday night.

I got a migraine around dinner time, and that was it for the rest of my trip. Adam was wonderful and took great care of me. I am so lucky. On Sunday, we drove to the barn were Adam and I worked with Denali. He is a great horseman. It looks like he found his horse! lol, I guess I'll need to fine another one (just kidding mom!) We went to Fred Meyers and bought packing tape. Tomorrow's goal. Pack 5 boxes.

All and all, it was a good weekend. Probably our last relaxing one for a while!
