Weekend at Soapstone

This was an eventful weekend. We started out double rigging or hauling a double. Whatever it’s called, I dislike it and today wasn’t an exception. We started out fine until we were on the freeway and the four wheeler trailer detached from the fifth wheel trailer.

I failed to take pictures, because I was pushing the tongue of the trailer and Paul was pulling it while cars were speeding past us at 70 mph! We got it hooked on after Paul repositioned by pulling forward and then backed up on the freeway! I wasn’t thrilled.

We hooked the trailer up and were able to safely bring it back home and dropped it off.

With the trailer issue, we arrived at Soapstone pretty late. We are not familiar with the area and with the sun already set we were worried about traveling too far up the mountain. What if we couldn’t find a spot, could we turn around?

This was taken the following day so we could reference where we were and how to get to the same camping spot next time. 🙂

We made a right and took the next spot to the right. There was another trailer in this spot without a truck so we pulled in and parked on the other side and hoped who ever owned the trailer wasn’t coming up this weekend. I didn’t take pictures of that either 🙂 And VERY late the guy did come back! He turned out to be a really nice guy and was up here hunting for the month.

We leveled and jumped in bed, but first noticing we didn’t have power from the batteries. 🙂 They were dry and we didn’t have any distilled water to put in them.

The next morning we woke up to this! Not bad. And then I heard this…

Is this was the zombie apocalypses will sound like?

Turned out to be a great spot and when we come back we would like to return to it.

We had to drive down to Kamas to get distilled water and on the way back, we may have stopped off for donuts 🙂

Later that day we saw the sheep herder.

Paul made breakfast every day this trip.

Making breakfast a little sweeter 🙂

And that was it. Short and sweet.
