It’s been ages since we got out camping. We went down to Escalante Friday night and camped rough. Bill organized this trip with his f3 group back in March to do a few canyons, and we watched nervously all week as it was kind of rainy. It’s super helpful when your friend is high up at the National Weather Service though and can tell you exactly what the weather is forecasted to be! It was good weather and we had fun camping Friday night with our friends and then headed out Saturday morning.
Goodness gracious, the road out was awful. Worst dirt road I’ve been on for years and it was 25 miles long. It was intense! Felt a bit like our van was going to shake to pieces but we made it.
We did three canyons. Dry Fork Narrows, Peekaboo, and Spooky. This was the entrance to Peekaboo. We had a few good climbs and drops! There were ten kids along, including two toddlers, so we did a whole lot of passing kids up and over things, but honestly, they did amazing.
Required f3 picture at the beginning of every event.
Hanging out waiting for someone to help them get over the top.
It was not too warm, but pretty humid. We got so sweaty! It was about 70, which is crazy for June. I couldn’t have imagined better weather.
It got SO skinny in Spooky.
Post hike.
And fries and shakes afterward in Escalante. Great weekend! Hopefully we’ll do a few more this summer.
