We Slept On A Plateau!

Thursday afternoon, we decided to spend the weekend in Zion National Park. Only a few hours later, we were on our way.

The drive was pleasant, as time passed quickly.

We arrived at our destination at 5:00am and spent our first hour searching for somewhere to sleep. Luckily for us, all of the campsites were full and everything with vacancy was expensive.

Being the college students we are, we left the expensive accommodations with upturned noses and continued forward, searching for something a bit more affordable, if not free.

Patience began to wear and tempers began to rise as the search for a place to lay down for two hours continued.

Suddenly, we saw, as if in a vision, a plateau appear before us. Upon further inspection, the decision was unanimous. We had found a place to sleep.

Tarps and blankets were laid out and the sleeping commenced.

And thus began the Great Pioneer Day Weekend of 2009. During the remainder of the trip, mountains were climbed with chains, apple cores were thrown from precipices, and water was drunk by the gallon.

Thank you for an incredible weekend, everyone.

Note to Self: Don't forget a spatula next time.
