Skylar and I woke up bright and early, but most of the others didn't get up till 9 or so and then had these elaborate breakfasts.. well, elaborate for camping anyway. We went out to another area to climb and it was a much nicer day.. not too warm... maybe 75 at most. This area wasn't as serene as the others though because it was along a pretty busy road. It must've been motorcycle day or something because their were bikes flying by all day! The routes were really nice and there were quite a few of them of varying difficulties. I did a fair amount of lead climbing and top roping. We stayed out there a long time, but took more breaks and joked around quite a bit more.Skylar didn't climb much this day either. I think the homesickness is really get to him. Makes it hard to enjoy the fun stuff we are doing when all he can think about is going home. Anna had a hammock that she set up and that made him happy. He laid there and read his book all afternoon.
We headed back that afternoon and I think we all fell asleep in the speeding car.. all except the driver, I hope. We stopped at a rest area to use the bathrooms and much like many public restrooms, we had to pay 50 cents to get in them. My bags were all packed in the van though, so Michele kindly loaned me the money. Sometimes, they even charge at restaurants, but then it is more of asking, not a locked gate or door to get inside.
All in all though, it was a fun and exhausting weekend!
