camping

we went camping this weekend. in tabiona. it was beautiful there. we forgot a few items to make the food better (including ketchup), but it was still enjoyable. we made a fire. we cooked polish
sausages. and a mush of bacon, carrots and onions. i froze as i slept on the hard ground. but only
woke up 3 times. around 6:30 elise climbed in my sleeping bag and we spooned. but it was so
warm.we ate eggs and bacon for breakfast.we went fishing. nate broke his pole on friday, so we
caught the fish with just line and a hook. we caught 4! i pulled one in with my bare hands and the
line. i cleaned 2.5 fish. nate taught me how and i did it. i cut them open, pulled out the guts,
broke the blood along the spine, cut off the fins, and scaled them. i even had to bite off a piece of
the fin that wouldn't cut off. i felt like a total mountain woman. it started to pour, freezing rain.
we hurried back and cleaned up the camground. we drove home. we smelled like mud, wet, fish,
and fire.


what a wunderbar time it was. ganz geil :)

aimee, we were rained out on our camping trip as well. where is this place? we went to southern utah hoping it would be warmer. but no, it was not. what do you guys use for bait? fishing is so fun, right!??
