So we jus went camping this Memorial Day Weekend. I have to say that everything did not go perfect. There was definatley some issues. I would say however that it seems years and years after the many adventures of Bart and I the stories that we remember most are the ones where we overcame obstacles.
The kids learned things out there about themselves. Ben learned a new respect for the mountain. Josh learned to overcome his fear and just lean back so that he could enjoy repelling. Matt learned that it's fun to get dirty.
I can honestly say that I am so glad that I had the wonderfull experiences in the wilder parts of Utah. I think that part of who I am was shapped out in the beautifull landscape that we take for granted. I would hope that we are all able to look at the bad things in our life and learn to enjoy the trials that we have while we are in them and not 10 years later.
I also am so proud of my brave wife who didn't go running and screaming when a rattle snake crossed paths with her.

No, I didn't go running and screaming. I backed away slowly and called for the nearest man to come and save me! Thanks again, Earl!
Eric has a blog?! Oh no, now he's doomed to sit in front of a computer for hours. Don't worry you have to get back outside otherwise you have nothing to blog about. I look forward to reading.
That Trip took me back to the good old days when Eric and I would Climb the Book Cliffs down in Green River, except that this time we had ropes and we weren't just climbing around on the frail sandstone, it was a lot of fun and I think that we can all look forward to many more trips like this in the future. Thanks for the great time,
Love Bark
