We rolled back home last nite about a quarter til Six. We had left Friday at about a quarter til Six. For Forty-eight hours, 48 weekend hours, we got out of the house, out of the valley, and up in the mountains. We pitched a tent, slept in sleeping bags, built a fire and enjoyed the mountains.
Trial Lake campsite
We used to make a trek to Mirror Lake once a year, and almost missed out this year. This last weekend the campsites were full, and next weekend they close for the season. We brought along two new toys, and had my sister, her husband and son join us. The first toy isn’t new, we (and by ‘we’ i mean Tania) actually bought it used. At a garage sale over a year ago. It’s the canoe you see strapped the top of my truck. We failed at really making use of it, but i’m gonna blame the shear amount of people invading our mountain getaway destination. The other new toy wasn’t shiny either, as a matter of fact it is dull, iron, and the one thing that made this trip a hit.
Dutch oven cooking, win.
i swear i ate better over the weekend than when Tania’s gone. We had a tri-tip roast that was to die for, and two breakfast’s that qualify as ‘brunch’, more for the quality rather than the time they were served.
Our getaway came at a nice part of summer, we beat the heat and got to be vacationing in our home state. If you’ve not been to the Uintas, i feel for you. Just don’t try to come when we’re taking the canoe out . . .
