This past weekend we took the family into the mountains again. This time we spent three days up Big Cottonwood Canyon with a lot of Holly’s family. All in all, there were close to 30 of us which made for a lot of fun.
It was a pretty uneventful trip. There was no fishing but we did spend Friday morning hiking to Donut Falls. Apparently the “donut” was destroyed a while back so now it’s just “Falls”. It was a relatively short hike but with 12 kids in tow, it took us longer than I expected to complete. A few of us finished the hike with some bumps and bruises but nobody was seriously hurt which is good.
We decided that it would be easiest if every family took one meal and cooked for the entire camp. Historically this has always gone well and this time was no different. The only downside is that we had Dutch oven cooking once. This is not a good thing. When I go camping, I prefer all of my meals cooked in a Dutch oven but since I didn’t have to do all of the work, I suppose it was OK. I did discover though that cleaning four ovens is a lot harder than cleaning one or two. Lucky for me there was a Camp Chef propane grill there that made boiling water a piece of cake.
