After getting run out of the desert by rain, we hid out for a night at the Escalante Outfitters and planned our backpacking trip. We were out four days and three nights walking along the Escalante River. It was a spectacular trip!

We went back to town after our backpacking trip to meet up wit Josh's friend Kelly. We headed back down Hole in the Rock Road to show him some things we had discovered. We explored a non technical slot canyon, showed Kelly Davis Gulch and made another trip to Lake Powell. This time, the boys took their Thermorests and used them as rafts. The desert was in full bloom while Kelly was there. We saw a lizard fight in our camp!

When Kelly left to go back to Denver, Josh and I packed up to head to Zion!
