Last fall we made an amazing discovery - Great Basin National Park in Nevada. Just a three hour drive from Provo was this amazing mountain paradise in the middle of the desert, and we liked it a LOT. For Memorial Day weekend, we decided to go back and take some friends. If you look at the post from our first trip there, you see that the weather looked a little something like this:
But luckily this weekend was a little more like this:
Much more conducive to hiking!
We hiked; ate hot dogs, Mountain House beef stroganoff (the. best.), smores with peanut butter (something I had never tried before. OHMYGOSH so good.), and pancakes; toured Lehman Caves; saw the brightest, clearest stars thanks to the famed darkest skies in the lower 48; played games (I'm now addicted to Bananagrams); and enjoyed every minute of sunshine & no work or school.

Overall a Memorial Weekend success. Thank you to every man and woman who has served
to protect our America the Beautiful.
