Spruces
Dave and Christine
Dave and I arrived at the Spruces campground (up Big Cottonwood Canyon) about 5:20 pm on Friday. We set up camp and started dinner, then Val, Blake, and Bronx arrived about 7:30 to have dinner with us and sit around the campfire. Bronx was excited and had a good time. They left by 9:30 pm.

On Saturday, Dave and I walked around the campground, then drove through another campground a little further up Big Cottonwood Canyon—Redman—it's pretty but only has a handful of sites where we could fit our 5th wheel. And they're all first come/first serve.
We drove further up the canyon to Silver Lake and took the walk around the lake.

We came back and showered, then relaxed.
Mike came up for dinner (Laura was working).
That night there was a big thunderstorm that came through. LOUD thunder, lots of rain, extra bright lightening.
We were up by 7:00 am on Sunday and had a quick breakfast. It is now nearly 8:00 am and we'll be packing up and leaving soon.
