Camping trip

On Sunday at about 6, we left to go camping up in the Snowy Range area! It was me, Josh, Paul, and Mom. We set up our tent and crammed all of our sleeping bags in it. It was a pretty tight fit, but we managed. Then we built a fire with charcoal. When we got there, it had been raining, so everything was wet! Luckily, it stopped when we pulled in. We cooked tin foil dinners in the fire, though we forgot 2 of the 5 at home. When we went to bed, we were freezing cold! We got warmer as we got in our sleeping bags, but it was a very cold night. We woke up at about 6:30 and there was a weird dog hanging around our camp. It didn't even pay attention to us, it just dug holes. It was really strange. We had cold cereal for breakfast, and then we drove to the Medicine Bow Peak trailhead, where we met Bob. We hiked all the way up the mountain, and all the way down. It was grueling, and we were exhausted. Then we drove to Saratoga and ate at J.W. Hugus. Dad met us there, we ate lunch, and then drove to the hot springs. They smelled bad and were REALLY hot! I couldn't even leave my feet in very long. Then we drove back to good old Laramie.

I didn't take any pictures at the hot springs, but it was a really fun experience.
