Camping

Last night Ross and I went camping. And it was awesome. A member of our stake presidency recommended this awesome place up Logan canyon that is secluded... And free. :) So we went there to use our brand new tent and air mattress, both of which we got as wedding gifts. Hooray!
We roasted hot dogs for our dinner and then were planning
on having s'mores for dessert! But then we realized that we forgot the marshmallows. So we had melted chocolate on gram crackers, which isn't too bad, but definitely needed marshmallows.
It was really cold last night. Ross and I had our pajamas, hoodie
s, thick blankets, extra socks, and all inside of mummy bags that were tightly closed. It was cozy, but I still got a little cold in the middle of the night. But that's ok.
In the morning we made eggs and hot chocolate. It was awesome and delicious. This little camp area was pretty awesome. The only downside was that there wasn't a bathroom so I just had to squat to go, Ross thought it was funny. That man..... Anyway, here's some pictures from our adventure!
This is Ross and the tent!
This is me in the tent!
Oh, we realized that our air pump only charges when hooked up to the car adapter thing, and alas, our car adapter things DO NOT WORK!!! So we got to blow up the air mattress with our own lung air. This is Ross in the tent blowing up our bed.
Here is Ross prior to us making the fire. That huge log covered in sticks is what we dragged over to use as firewood.
Here is our fire.
Here's Ross in the morning, drinkin' hot chocolate!
Here is me and my hot chocolate. :)

  1. I'm sorry you forgot your marshmallows. That is incredibly sad. :(

    But it is way funny that you had to blow up your air mattress with your lungs.

  3. If you are going up the canyon, you will find Preston Campground on the right side. Right across the street there is a place to pull over and there are rocks around it. There's a little path there that leads to a private, free, camping place. :)
