MeAdOw LAKE

For the 24th (which is a utah holiday, who knew !!) brock and i went camping with my family and the lunds. while we were there there was this huge mountain that we decided to climb. we all thought that it was going to take us hours and hours and hours so we packed about a whole case of water bottles in a couple of bags and started heading up. On our way up we discovered that dexter is not completely human, in fact he has some mountain goat in him. he flew up the mountain like it was nothing and all of the rest of us (brock, me, christine, and eden) struggled to keep up with him. it actually only ended up taking us about 45 minutes to really get to the top. On the way down we were just on slate rock which is very slippery, and with every step that you took you went down about 4 feet. after we got the hang of it, it actually was kind of fun. brock yelled the whole way down "WATCH OUT AVALANCHE !!!"

Later that night we were looking up the mountains and saw that there were some mountain goats up at the top. we decided that it would be fun to see how close we could get to them. This time it was Britni, Christ, Eden, Madeleine, and me and brock. Oh and dexter also came but took a different way and basically just ran straight up and scared them all away before we got to them (hence why we think he is part mountain goat.) We had a really good time. One night as we sat around the camp fire we got my dad and scott to karaoke with us, which was you put the ipod in your ear turn it up so you cant hear a thing and sing. My dad's song of choice was of course Celine Dions "im your lady" and scotts was the exact opposite " summer of 69."

Just down the road from Meadow lake is this small little abandoned mining town called gilmore. we went down to the ruins and took some pictures. The pictures that were taken on the bridge were pretty scary it was not very sturdy. In one of them you can see that brock has pulled me to try and startle me into thinking i was going to fall, and let me tell you it worked. we were about 20 feet in the air. besides that it was a pretty cool place.
