camping w/ the Crossleys
we arrived around 11pm after driving around for about 3 hours! All we were working off was a hand-drawn map and an explanation "go to Heber, turn at center street, you'll go up a windy road, follow the signs to current creek. You'll pass a stream called Red Rock Creek, turn up that road and we'll be right there!"
When we got to the windy part, we had no idea how long we were supposed to be driving. 15 mins? an hour? We passed a sign called "Red Creek Mountain" and Seth is like, should we turn there? I say no, keep going, its close but not exact. He says, no we should turn around, so we turn back and start down this road and we're like, no way! this is not a road, this is an ATV trail, no way would they make us drive up this road, they know we only have our Mazda sedan, so we turn back and keep going for another hour.
Well we're about out of gas and completely lost, its dark so we have to go back down the mountain. We're irritated and tired, we can't believe we drove all night and we'll just have to go back.
On our way down we see this guy on an ATV, and we pass him. Seth says something like "who is driving a 4-wheeler at 11pm at night?" and I look and I'm like "wait! thats your dad!" so we try to catch up to him, flag him down and Roger didn't even notice it was us. He was like, oh, yeah I was just going for a little night ride! ha. So we follow him back to camp, and it was the "Red Creek Mountain" road we had gone down and then turned around! oh, the irony.
jack is at home out here, he loves chasing the birds and squirrels.
wildflowers were so beautiful this weekend!
