Well, I finally experienced
camping! It was a first for me and
Oliver. Other than not packing
warm enough clothes, I think
we did pretty well.
We went to Willard Peak
to camp and hike with some
friends from church.
They had a camper
(which made me really happy,
cause it had a bathroom).
Oh, how I wish
I had taken pictures of
the road we drove in on.
It looked a little like the ground in
the above picture.
We drove ten miles
on a mostly one lane
road that was dirt, rock,
and all kinds of bumpy!
But look how beautiful...
 |
| Oliver borrowed a friend's jacket - it got cold in the evening |
 |
| We survived! We slept all night in the tent! Oliver got a little cold, but we slept well overall. And believe it or not, there's room in this tent for all 3 of us! We weren't cramped at all! |

 |
| Willard Peak is behind us |
 |
| We drove up a mile or two for our hike... |
And after hiking about
a mile and a half -
up 1,108 feet...
we reached the tip top
of Willard Peak.
Willard Peak is the highest
Peak in Weber County.
It's 9,764 feet above sea level.

| Willard Bay is that big body of water down there |
 |
| Oliver on top of the world! |
After eating lunch, Oliver spotted something...
 |
| Mountain Goats! |
 |
| All 6 of us at the top of Willard Peak |

| Our friends Cary and Kristin with their dog Raven |
 |
| The Underwood men |
You can see some of the
smoke still - we will
have to go back when it's a little
clearer out.

| Eric - on top of the world |
On our way back down the mountain
we ran into a whole pack of mountain goats
 |
| If you look closely - you can see all of the goats on the top right. They blend in quite well. |
 |
| We got back to the campsite and Oliver found a shady spot under the camper. |
We are all a little tired
today, even though we crashed
when we got home last night.
We enjoyed our campout!
