Camping ... Finally!

Finally ... after a two-year hiatus, our family was finally able to enjoy all the thrills of a camping trip! Yea! We headed over to Hovenweep National Monument for 3 days/2 nights of camping and hiking. That's the great thing about living where we do ... because you can go and enjoy places like SE Utah this time of year when there's too much snow in the mountains still ... and then this summer, you enjoy the mountains when places like Hovenweep would be just too darn hot to even think about!

Hovenweep National Monument is one of the few places within the park system that allows you to bring your dog. So Kallie got to go on all of the trails with us. She didn't care much for the ancient ruins, but she loves smelling every sage brush that she came across ... and there were plenty of them! Altogether she hiked 4-5 miles on her old "grandma dog" legs. She's slept ever since she's been home.
