Our First Camping Trip! (finally)

Friday after work we drove up to the Uinta Mountains. We couldn't find a camp site by the lake so we did a little off roading in the middle of nowhere and found the "perfect spot". We had a fantastic time. Take a look at some of the pictures...Andrea is getting the fire ready for cooking dinner.Ahhh charbroiled hot dogs. MmmmmGood morning sunshine! My new camp stove worked like a charm. Thanks REI. (This is car camping at its finest).
If you look closely, this is a baby moose we saw from the car. Andrea wondered where the mom was (I was scared to death we'd find out where the mom was), but we didn't stick around to find out.
We packed the ice chest, chairs, and our food into the canoe and set out on Mirror Lake. It was beautiful, but the water was freezing cold.
We stopped for lunch on the banks of the lake and found we weren't the only ones who were hungry. We gave this little guy some Doritos and once we'd given him a little taste, he kept coming back for more. We tried to give him other things like bread, tomato, and cabbage, but all he wanted were Doritos! So we decided to name him "Chip".

It is so gorgeous there! Your pictures are great. I think you finally inspired me to check out Kamas and the surrounding areas.

Dad wants to know why you didn't have the tent fly staked properly.

He says it's "Bad Form", Ben

Love that Andrea had to paddle your dead weight around the lake in a canoe while you leisurely took pictures of her from the rear. Real nice.
Looks like a fun trip, you guys look good!

Hey Joanie, I wasn't total dead weight, I mean, somebody had to steer right?
