Camping Trip

This summer I ventured out on my very first camping trip planned by myself and my friends. Whoa. No chaperones. No adult planning or anything. We did a pretty good job as well, if I do say so myself. We took Guenella Pass and camped in a little site near a creak. I was absolutley gorgeous where we went. We totally lucked into that too, none of us had been there before.

This is me on the top of the pass. Before the storm rolled in...

The extent of the nearest townIt then started pouring rain. I was the only one willing to go out in it to retrieve stuff from the car. We all brought rain jackets like good RMSELians, but at this point I was tired of putting it on and taking it off so many times. Lazy.


After it stopped raining we went exploring! Look at how pretty is was!


While on our exloration hike we set the camera down to take cheezy pictures.







The real intent of the camping trip was to find and explore a ghost town. So the next day we set out for a town called Sts. John. This is what was left...

It was cool. While here we also went on a hike because there was another ghost town, to get to it we needed to cross a river, but we didn't. So we went somewhere else and came across snow instead. Snow in July. So we played in it. Duh.

We ran across this...

Then on the way back we stopped by this here sign. We passed it a million times this winter when we went to A-Basin, but we never stopped in the winter. We discovered that there is a trail all along the continental divide also, so we hiked up to one of the little peaks off the side of the freeway. It was pretty cool.

On our way home we stopped in some tiny town and took train pictures.

So yea. That was pretty much it, next summer we are going to plan out a bigger and better trip. But this sufficed for planning the day before, around everyone's work schedules.
