Crimson Trail Time

Last weekend it was time for our annual camping trip to Logan Canyon.  We always go the night before General Conference. 

Two of our besties, Stephanie and Scott Bauer, rode up to Logan with us that night.  We ate dinner at the Firehouse, one of our faves.  Then they got their daughter Kaylee's car and followed us up the canyon to our campsite at Guinavah in Logan Canyon.  We all sat in the trailer and chatted that night and had hot apple cider, Starbuck's style.  Then they drove back home.  Dave and I watched a couple of Seinfeld episodes before hitting the sack.

The next morning was frrrrreezing.  But we bundled up and headed out on our hikes.


I can't look at this picture without laughing.  What a nerd.  I am bundled up to the gills - a fleece vest, coat, hat and lovely red mittens.  And I was still cold.



Note to self:  stop when taking a photo and it won't be blurry.



Smack dab in the center of this photo is a wild turkey we saw sitting on the edge of the trail.




Okay, a little red leaf overdose going on here.  :)

Next year we want to hike to the wind caves. (center of photo)  If you have done this before, comment and let us know if it is worth it.





This pond was frozen over.  You can see the cracks in the ice.

I always love this amphitheater in our campground.

Dave humored me and did a little "Dancing with the Stars" for the camera.

After the hikes, General Conference was just beginning.  We listened to it while making and eating a breakfast of cinnamon rolls, eggs and sausage.  Oh and hot chocolate to warm up our bones.

We had a flat tire when we got back from the hike.  So before leaving, Dave borrowed a fellow camper's bicycle pump and pumped it up and we quickly drove down the canyon to Discount Tires in Logan to get a new tire.

We listened to the second session of conference in our truck while waiting at the tire joint.  It was a memorable little camping trip!

I love the red leaves too, and your trailer looks nicer than my livingroom!
