We went camping! We committed to going all week becuase we knew that distractions inevitably would come up and even though they did--biggest one being it was a solid rain forecast all weekend--we just went for it!
There's a mini-mountain in front of Timp called Big Baldy and we decided to camp on the summit. We got a little bit of a late start, but it was still so awesome!
We hiked straight up until we finally reached the saddle between Baldy and Timp, at which point it was raining and dark and a little coldish, but Billy still managed to make this awesome fire and we roasted delicious brats.

There was just a long enough window of time with no rain to eat until it started pouring rain and so luckily we had a sweet tent.
It was a very loud night of constant rain and, we discovered when we woke up, hail! And since we were on top of a mountain we had no choice but to sleep on a slope so we were sliding down like crazy the whole night, but it was still glorious! I was so looking forward to a beautiful camping morning that you only get when you go camping, but when we opened up the tent in the morning it was even cooler because it was COMPLETE fog, so thick we couldn't even see Timp, which was just across the valley. It was so cool! It felt like we were in England. (like either of us would know haha)
It's officially camping season!
What a great adventure! Love it!
