Camping

{July 13 - 15}

We headed to the North Rim with our friends Clyde and Brittney for a fun weekend of camping and four wheeling. We decided we should camp right by the Grand Canyon so we could see the sunset everynight so we headed to Fire Point.

Friday night we heard Coyotes howling all night and they seemed to be so close (who knows if they really were) but luckily Stella and I were in the truck bed so I wasn't worried. Around 3:00am Stella woke up and told me her stomach hurt so I grabbed my thermals and she threw up into them. Once she stopped she said she felt better and went back to sleep. A couple hours later (not sure of the time) she woke up saying she needed a drink cause her stomach was hurting so I went and got some water and Scott came with paper towels just in case. Well a couple minutes later she threw up again but luckily in paper towels. Then we all fell asleep again for who knows how long but not long enough.

As soon as Stella woke up around 7:00 it started pouring. Well after about 20 minutes our campsite was a river about 4-5 inches deep. Then we started worrying about the road because it was already a bit washed out and it takes 30 minutes to get to the main road for our campsite. We decided to pack everything up, find a campsite closer to the main road and to eat breakfast at Jacob Lake.
About 20 minutes into our drive back the rain slowed to a sprinkle. There were a couple spots that were really deep but we made it!

After a delicious and LONG breakfast we made it to our new campsite, unpacked everything and layed EVERYTHING out to dry. Everything got wet when we packed it up in the storm. Luckily the sun was out for a couple hours before it started raining again. We played cards upder the canopy and just hung out. We did take the four wheelers a little but it was super muddy.

Sunday was the best day, we woke up to the sun and it stayed sunny all day. We all decided that everything that happened was sign that we weren't supposed to camp at Fire Point. Well who really knows.

Love Camping!!
