That
night I was stoked because we could actually have a campfire. We bought way more firewood than we
needed and had dinner, a bonfire, and s’mores. As we were going to bed we both realized
that the fly was on backwards, so we actually could see directly up to the sky,
which was kind of neat at the time…. until 2 am when we woke up to rain
smacking us in the face. After we turned our sleeping bags around, we fell back
asleep and had a soggy cleanup the next morning. It wasn’t the best case scenario,
but all the people who we ran into that day were happy to have their first day
of rain in 3 months.

Escalante
After
a morning hiking in Bryce, we were headed to Escalante National Park. We had
reserved our campsite at Escalante State Park Reservoir. Scotty wanted to go
swimming but I did not allow it since they informed us they had some gross
parasites in the water that gave you “swimmer’s itch”. No thanks! We then decided to hike to
the Escalante “Natural Bridge”. We realized that average hikes are now going to
seem boring after doing Angel’s Landing and The Narrows. We didn’t
realize that the trial led you back and forth over a river where we had to keep
taking our shoes off to wade across. That got old quick, so Scotty took one for
the team and just gave me a piggy back ride across. Eventually we got to the
bridge, which was pretty cool.
