Day 4

Because the restaurant had to be closed for repairs April 29 - May 7 we decided to take a road trip. The following posts are a daily log of our adventures.

Upon returning to our old campsite, Kent and I were a little freaked out to see the same chair sitting in the same spot from the last time we were there. The only thing different is more rocks have been added to keep the chair in place. Why does someone want this chair to stay here? Is it a memorial for a guy who used to sit in it? All I knew is that in the dark, the chair looked creepy and I thought we shouldn't mess around with it. Kent agreed with me, so he left a little sip of bourbon to pay respect to whoever the chair might belong to.

Besides for the creepy chair, we had a nice relaxing day around the camp site: we took an exploratory walk down a few of the Jeep trails, I read my book while the boys went target shooting, and then reconvened for some snacks later.

The night before we had to move the fire to the rock wall to take shelter from the wind, and to throw back heat from the fire. The wind had finally died down that day, but we decided to keep the fire in the same place.

For dinner we decided to feast: steak, veggies with butter and herb rice. There is just something about chowing down on some medium rare beef while drinking beers next to an awesome fire in the middle of nowhere. We kept thinking that we'd have plenty of leftovers for the morning, but then all of the sudden the food was gone. At least every morsel was enjoyed, with the wonderful flavors still lingering on our taste buds.

A wonderful meal, a cozy fire and good company...what more could you want in life?
