- Quick swim at Fossil Creek (long dirt unpaved roads, better to have a 4-wheel drive- we didn't, oops!)
2 siblings, 3 states, 4 nights car camping, 5 days exploring the beautiful landscapes. We limited our spending, our expenses this trip: gas, 2 rounds of ice cream, 1 avocado, 1 veggie burrito, and 1 pot of coffee. Food from home: nuts (pecans, farm almonds), seeds (pumpkin), cheese, avocado. Equipment for night camping: all from #REI (the best outdoor gear store!)
