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!

Aww, Derrick is a sad puppy he can't make it up!
Just a cool hand print.
It was a tight squeeze!
It feels good not to have those packs on!
