An EXPLOSIVE Campout

Hey gang...so over the weekend we went with some friends up Big Cottonwood Canyon to the Spruces Campground! It was some seriously goodtimes mixed with some minor catastrophes! First upon getting to the Campground our friends, Kari and Nick, borrowed a Pop-up Tent Trailor...which upon set-up decided to snap a cable! It was seriously so sad! It's worst when bad stuff happens to equiptment on campouts etc...especially when you have borrowed the equiptment! BLAST!!! So Adam and Nick spent the next 1.5-2 hours make-shifting a way to keep the callapsed side up--resulting in some interesting remedies one of which included Adam climbing a tree (much like one of the men you see at the Polynesian Cultural Center retrieving coconuts) in order to secure a rope that was supporting that end!

Catastrophe #2 involved our idiodic camp "neighbors" which consisted of about 8 young men. Needless to say upon starting their campfire with GASOLINE, they proceeded to engulf and entire TREE in FLAMES!!!! My heart seriously stopped! They then put out the fire with their pillows and bodies

When all is said and done...it was a delightful evening with friends...but our crazy neighbors certainly put a damper on the eve!
