Day 11: Thunder Camp

7/27/11

Today also consisted of being in the car for prolonged periods of time. But on the bright side of things, we got to see some beautiful landscapes as we drove from Colorado towards the Utah-Nevada border. After driving through several summer thunderstorms on the way, we were greeted by ominous black clouds at our campsite. Liz agreed to start making dinner while the rest of us rushed to put up our tents before the rain hit. Unfortunately, most people weren't able to even get the rain flies on their tents before the coming of the wind, rain, and thunder. Looking back on us setting up camp, it was almost comical. We were all frantically running around trying to get our things out of the rain and attempting to put up our rain cover in the wind and rain. We decided to appropriately name the campsite Thunder Camp after the thunder and lightening that continued through the night. Despite struggles with the weather, we were still able to have a great taco meal.



As we headed back to Utah from Colorado the landscape changed drastically. 



Gypsy was ready to get to camp after a full day of driving.



We had a "puppy stop" at a rest stop in Utah. The view was amazing.
