A couple weeks ago my bestest friend in the whole entire world, Tara, called and asked if we wanted to go camping. "Of course!"I said. Anyway, we got online to reserve a site at the most excellent campground, Currant Creek. If you've never been, I highly recommend it. It has running water AND flushing toilets! It's like roughin' it, with 2 comforts of home! It is an absolutely beautiful place and it is not too far away.
We decided to leave Heber about 3:00 Friday. Well Tara got here @ 3:30 and Eric & Brittany got here at 4:00. Justin was fiddling with the boat and we finally rolled out of the driveway at 6:00. Yeah, that's pretty normal when it comes to us and camping. We never leave on time!
We decided to go up over Lake Creek, cause it's a lot faster than going around by Strawberry. We got all the way to the summit (only 14 miles further to Currant Creek) and there we stared at 2 feet of drifted, mushy SNOW! May I say that I am done with snow? Anyway, There were a couple trucks with camp trailers on them trying to turn around, so we waited and then Justin thought he had to give his "good ol' Ford" a try at it! Him & this other guy in a Chevy kept goofing around and pulling each other out of the snow and finally Justin got stuck. The guy helped us out and Tara said "that was enough and we needed to get going". Justin was trying to get the boat loaded back onto the truck , Tara & I started to tease him and CRASH!! He lost control of everything and smashed his pinkie in-between the truck and the boat trailer thing. I heard a crunching noise and then Justin's fowl-mouth blurt out a few choice words that I will edit out for the sake of young readers! Ouch! Tara, Tika & Carsun were the Medical Staff as I sat to the side trying not to puke! (thank heavens for First-Aid Kits in all of our vehicles!)
By the time he was all fixed up and we were headed back down the hill, we were all starving. We had planned on having Hobo - Dinners that night but since it was 8:45 when we got back into Heber, we stopped at SubWay...the weirdest tasting Hobo-Dinners I've ever had! By 9:15 we were headed the long way to Currant Creek! We actually made really good time. We pulled into the campground at 10:20. As we drove down to our "RESERVED" campsite, there was a family headed to bed. We ended up talking to them about how we had reserved that spot and blah, blah, blah. Anyway- we went to find an empty spot for the night. We figured that we could work it all out in the morning. By that time it was almost 11:00. We decided to sleep in the cars rather than set up for the night. Uncomfortable fun! (the girls thought it was great...Tara, Eric & Brittany on the other hand, did not! They were squished!)
The weekend turned out being super nice. The weather was beautiful and the campground was not very busy. Fishin' was AWESOME and the company was much needed! For not camping once all last summer, we did a great job getting back into the groove!
