With Joyce and jen coming along for the ride, we set off Saturday morning to start our trek to Seattle. We got a slow start that day because we needed to do some serious re organizing to fit everyones stuff in the truck. With Jen's knot skills we solved the problem by tying the cornhole to the top of the bed cover. Our plan was to head west from Denver to get into the mountains a little then head north to make it to wyoming by the end of the night.
Drivig through the Rockies is an amazig experience. For the most part the roads were straight and the areas around us were barren. There are rock formations in the distance but the roads we took passed through valleys.
After putting some miles behin us we ended up in a small town in Wyoming. It was getting later in te day so we stopped for food and enquired about campgrounds in the area.
Sinks national forest was reccomended to us by our waitress and it did not dissapoint. As we drove in, there were huge faces of mountains with caverns and boulders that looked like they could come tumbling down if even a squirle jumped touched them. To our left was a violently rushing stream proving a significant white noise to the area. The sun was settig behind the mountains to add to the peaceful feel of the area.
Since we got there late in the day we got a tiny camp site where we hand to set up our tents on asphault because we were on the rocky banks of the stream. After a little hike/walk on a nature trail at the camp, we used the ice cold water of the stream and a little side pool surrouded by rocks to cool some cans of beer and they climbed on top of a 20' boulder to enjoy the scenery.
After playig cards by moonlight, we called it a night and hit the sack
