Camping in the Uintas

With our second to last weekend before school started, Sarah and I decided to go camping in the Uinta Mountains with Brenda (partly because we wanted to make it up to her for bailing on our trip to Havasupai and partly because we felt like going camping).  I had gone to Jenő and Edit's sealing in the Bountiful Temple that evening and I was planning on meeting Sarah and Brenda in Kamas.  The original plan was to go to Mirror Lake, but when does anything in life go according to plan?

(Jenő was the Branch Mission Leader in one of the cities on my mission and Edit has been living in Utah for the past fifteen years, working int he Humanitarian Aid Department of the Church.  She had be married but was recently divorced and she and Jenő decided to get married, so he moved here from Hungary.  My mission president performed the sealing and it was translated into Hungarian for Jenő because he doesn't speak English.)

So, one of my headlights had burned out and I didn't think it would be a good idea to drive up in the mountains without a headlight (despite my mother telling me that plenty of people drive with a burned out headlight).  After the sealing, I drove to Murray to fix my car there, only to run into a lot of frustration, tools dropped into the engine that didn't fall through and tight spaces that weren't too kind to my knuckles.  Long story short, it was dark before I left Murray, so Sarah and Brenda decided to leave Kamas and find the first area to camp that they could.  We later met up in Kamas and went to the camp together.  The next morning, we went for a nice bike ride up the canyon (if any bike ride up a canyon can be considered nice).
