THIS IS BETTER THAN CAMPING!!

"...actually Clara, this is camping..."

I'm pretty sure this trip was worth it...

...after listening to Rusted Root on the highway passing through Spanish Fork.
...after embarrassing stories...
...after telling a whole story without the word "like" -20 minutes later-

...after snacking on crackers and cheese.

...after standing on the edge of a cliff in the pitch dark, imagining how incredible the view is suppose to be.
...after having a cuddle puddle in the middle of a deserted gas station's parking lot.

...after finding firewood in the middle of the desert.
...after determining what's figurative and what's literal.
...after going to the bathroom behind tumble weed.

...after a colorful variety of conversation topics because talking about anything becomes socially acceptable when camping.

...after rolling out a sleeping bag under the stars.
...after a contagious fit of laughter over a great idea.
...after switching sleeping bags.

...after squeezing through a slot canyon.

...after rolling down a sand dune.

...after packing for a vacation...

...after getting lost in the middle of the afternoon.
...after asking repeatedly, "who's winning?"

...after walking across an arch.
...after realizing that it doesn't matter what we do, as long as we do something naked.
...after learning that "roommate" is only one word.

...after having a panic attack in an underground cave.

...after being covered in glowstick goo.

...after befriending an elephant.

a trip that resulted in a malfunctioning camera and a album of priceless photos.

Sometimes it's good to just give yourself a vacation, call it a Spring Break. Turn off your cell phone, breathe some fresh air, and experience the world around you.
It was better than camping.
