I spent the weekend camping in the Uinta Mountains about four hours north of the city. It was a lovely break with like-minded friends and lots of lakes.
There were high lakes:
And not-quite lakes:
And lakes with lilies (!):
And calm lakes at sunset where you could see fish jump:
There were also wildflower meadows:
And camp fashion:
And camp cocktails:
It was a good trip. When I bought a “real” sleeping bag and other camping gear last year, I was still seeing my outdoorsy boyfriend. After he moved, I was worried I’d only use my stuff in case of a zombie apocalypse. So it was nice to realize that I have all sorts of Outdoor Types in my circle of friends–and to spend an outdoorsy weekend with them.
