Interesting title, don’t you agree? Last week we did, in fact, go camping at a place called “Enchanted Rock”. So, you may ask, why am I reading this post today instead of a week ago? Why does it take Julianne so long to write new posts? Why am I reading her speculation about my thoughts? Well, as to that last part, I really can’t say. As to the taking a long time about writing new posts, it does take a while to sort through the many, many pictures I took.
So, enter first of many, many pictures.
This one was taken shortly after we arrived at the park, when we still had a hour-long hike to our campsite ahead of us. Notice all the sleeping bags and assorted “things” we’re carrying?
And this one shows us taking advantage of a nearby boulder (not pictured) to tower over Daddy!
The hike to the campsite featured some interesting, erm, boulders and other rocks (it was a mountain of pink granite, after all).
After we started to get over the mountain and into the valley, the hiking got more strenuous and I stopped taking pictures in order to focus on not falling and dying. Below are a couple of the pictures I took after we exited the valley and got into a flatter area.
Taking a short break in the cave.

After we got to our campsite and set up the tents, we explored and played for a few hours. We also kept our eyes open for forked sticks that might serve as potential skewers for our hotdogs and marshmallows later!
Cooking up some dinner!
Good, safe cooking methods were demonstrated by Daniel.
After the dinner we ate more snacks and played some games in the tent, before finally dropping off to sleep, something which turned out to be more difficult than I would have imagined, due to the coyote pack that saw fit to howl loudly throughout most of the night. Creepy and noisy, but also sort of interesting due to the novelty of it!
That’s it for Part 1 of this post! Check back tomorrow for Part 2!
