Moosehorn

We just came home from our annual camp in the Uintas. We have been going to the same lake for about 16 years. I think we have only missed one or two years in that period. It is so peaceful there. We saw a mountain goat for the first time. There was only one that we saw on two consequetive mornings. It was pretty cool watching him climb on the steep slopes. Mark took the hike up Bald Mt. with Rick. Rick said he is starting to feel his age. He never did get that second wind feeling, but Mark went right up just fine. It is a very steep hike so I have never been brave enough to try it. Allie liked riding in the "boat" (our blow up 2 man) but we didn't have the right size life jacket so we didn't go very far or very long. She also loved watching the squirrels (which she calls rabbits) and the birds. Dave and his family stayed home and enjoyed their solitude here. We have one more camp on Labor Day and then the summer season is over. Sighhhhh

One of the things we miss most about Utah is all the wonderful outdoor adventures you can have. We don't really like to camp here in the summer because it is too hot and miserable. Spring and fall are alright, but spring you risk getting rained on (a lot). That leaves a very short camping season, not to mention there are fewer places to choose from. Your trip sounds heavenly. I am getting old now, so having a pop up trailer doesn't seem like such a bad idea either.
