I had a pretty busy weekend culminating in one of the greatest camping trips ever. We left at 4 pm on saturday and went out to a place that should be a 45 minute drive. We got bad directions and missed a bunch of signs and four and half hours later we finally got there. I drove up with the girl that planned it and so everybody else got lost as we tried to explain how to get there. By 930 or so everyone was there (11 were staying the night) and dinner was cooking. About an hour later the park ranger dropped by and explained to us that we didn't have the sight reserved and would have to move sights. She also said if we had more than 7 people there in the morning we would be fined. So we threw everything in the cars and moved. Dinner was pretty good, we had tin foil dinners.

A couple of guys that were invited weren't LDS and brought a nice big 12 pack. They each had six beers and got pretty drunk. They were cool for the most part but one was really worried about the fire all night so the other guy went and broke off some of the fence post that was built around where people park. Neither of them were the brightest boys.

About 2 we were all heading to bed. We had 3 tents. 1 small one for a married couple, a small 2 man for the 2 girls, and a 5 man for the rest of the guys. But by 2 one of the guys had already fallen asleep in the girls tent and refused to move when he was woken up. Since neither of the girls wanted to sleep with just them and the guy in the tent they made one of the drunks sleep in there with him. That left 4 guys and the two girls to sleep in the tent. As we were getting ready for bed one of the girls grabbed me and told me to make sure the drunk didn't sleep by her and the other girl. I was the last one in the tent. That make me the 6th person in a five man. The girls were in the left corner and of course the drunk was snuggling into bed next to them. I leaned down and said "'scuse me, I'll just slip right in here if you don't mind" and put down my pillow and blanket between the girl and the drunk dude. When I laid down I realized my shoulders barely fit and situation hit me. I have a hammered dude to my left and a girl my age to my right. If I roll to my left I'm spooning the drunk and if I roll to my right I'm an inch from the girl's face. It was a long, long 5 hours. I slept maybe 2 hours.

That's about it. I was happy to be home the next morning but it was a pretty fun weekend.

holy man i laughed out loud at that at work. then i had my boss come in and we were both laughing hysterically at the options of spooning the drunk or nose to nose w/ the girl. it reminds me of mom's experience in england on the train with her options of being nose to nose with the very serious businessman or being nose to armpit with the b.o. guy. wow what great experiences you guys have. thanks for sharing!

What would it have been like if you were nose to nose with the drunk guy or spooning the girl?!?!
