On Saturday, we both planned to sleep in and we were highly unsuccessful...7am is NOT sleeping in. After breakfast we decided to clean up camp and go to the Great Basin National Park which was about 70 miles away. We wanted to go tour the Lehmen Caves, but were unable to due to the touring scheduling and availability. Instead, we took a scenic drive of Wheeler Peak and hiked to Stella Lake. There was still some snow on the mountain, but we had perfect weather and a great time soaking in the views. After our drive and once we were back in town, we still had an hour to kill before meeting up with Hannah. As we were driving along, we saw a little museum so we decided to go in. It was one of the coolest museums I've been in. Everything was just laid out and it wasn't really behind glass or anything. They had some pretty cool stuff too. We enjoyed walking around and posing for funny pictures. I loved walking into the houses they had out back. We easily spent an hour wandering around. Then it was time to meet Hannah! She took us to a spot called Garnet Hill. (So when Hannah first told me about Garnet Hill, she told me we could go hunting for Garnets. I replied, "First I would have to take up hunting..." yeah, I quickly learned a garnet is not an animal....haha) We had fun "hunting" for the garnets and actually found some! By the time we were done with that, it was time to go get some dinner. We went to this Mexican Restaurant called Margaritas-it was de-lic-ious!
Mike was a great sport and drove the whole way back so I could get some rest. It was a busy weekend, but we had a great time together and it was fun to see Hannah. We decided we'll have to go camping again this summer. I hope we do because I've certainly missed it the past 5 or so years!
