The Burtons: Lewis & Clark + Sacagawea

School is half way over for the semester, HALLELUJAH! and Jim, Chad, and I needed an adventure. So my first thought was a weekend trip to the Grand Canyon and they went for it. As we were getting ready to leave Chad looked up the map and then realized you need a 4-Wheel drive car to get to the place we wanted to go. So that idea was out the door! After some thinking and a few more phone calls we got ourselves a canoe from Chad's friend Eldon and decided to head to Baker Reservoir in Veyo.. we wanted to go somewhere new, but we drove through and decided this was not the place, there was "no camping" signs about every 20 feet. So we headed to Gunlock and it was way better!! Here the 3 of us are with tons of stuff because we were originally planning on going to the Grand Canyon but still took it all of it with us and we load it in the canoe plus the 3 of us. We barely fit and the boat was a little heavier then it should of been. But we headed out on the reservoir at night hoping not to tip over. And to no surprise i was freaking out that we were going to tip over which most of it was probably my fault in the first place, but we made it back to ground and found us a camping spot! We built a fire and set up camp and were ready for the night begin. We made "smockos" which are toritillas, chocolate chips and mini marshmallows wrapped in tin foil. They are delicious, just try them! And then tin foil dinners, which a good trick is to put cream of mushroom soup/cream of chicken soup on the top and they come out moist and flavorful! Long story short, we went to sleep and it rained on us all night so we woke up soaking wet!!!!... packed up camp and headed back out on the reservoir where a lady took some sweet pictures to us, had us row into shore and she got our information to email them. So cool! And then had some fun with the canoe in Raintree Apartment pool! :) And the name Lewis & Clark + Sacagawea came from the nice lady (Tee).
