It was an adventure!

Sorry I have not updated for awhile. I have been so busy lately. So here is what I have been doing. This weekend I had the chance to go backpacking to Bullet Canyon to Grand Gulch (in Utah) with my friends. It was a very amazing experience. We hiked a total of 22 miles in 3 days. We saw lots of cool Anasazi Indian ruins. It was way fun! The last day was the hardest because we had been hiking less than we needed to the 2 days before so really we had 11 more miles to go!

Some unexpected things we encountered were:

• Running out of water
• A Norwegian tour group (there for the "canyon experience") who directed us to water
• Dangling off the edge of a cliff
• Racing against the sun to get to the top of the canyon
• Praying for water, survival, and a car to come by to take my friends' dad the last 7 miles to the RV while we slept on the side of the road and waited at from 10pm until 1am

This was an experience I will never forget!(to hear mom's side of the story visit Mom's blog)!

The first day of hiking!

Time to set up camp!

It feels good not to have those packs on!
