Saturday afternoon a group of 9 of us headed out past Boulder to do some camping. We met in Boulder at Michelle and Kyle's house and headed out. We drove through this TINY old town called Gold Hill...
Earlier in the summer there was a fire in Boulder County... you could see all of the damage on the drive up. A lot of houses were burnt down to the ground or had just been rebuilt. |
About 20 minutes past Gold Hill, and after some scary cliff driving we made it to our beautiful campsite that Kyle scouted out for us (he's an eagle scout which makes me feel better).
After we arrived around 2:30 we had a few quick storms pass through. Its nice having cars near by for shelter. At one point after dark we were looking towards our tents with our headlamps and Carolyn claimed her tent was gone. We thought she was crazy buuuut she wasn't. We had about 5 minutes of winds which was enough for her tent to take flight. We went hunting for it in the dark with just out headlamps and found it not too far away. Our huge tent was completely turned around.
Hiding out in the car during the storm. Stella the dog came, too. |
We cooked up some hot dogs, hamburgers and sausages on the fire and had s'mores later in the evening.
We played some games.
