The Giles proposed a meet in the middle camping trip for the City of Rocks. We scheduled it months in advance on several weekends in hopes that one of them would work when the time rolled around. We were able to make it work and met on a Friday in June. We set up tents, arranged who was actually sleeping in which tent (more work than one might think), and went to bed with visions of rock climbing dancing in our heads. We spent the day hiking and climbing. I think everyone got a turn and everyone improved in the short time we were there. The pollen was terrible and Wendi's allergies were raging. We also had a mishap with the dogs when Tank's leash wrapped around poor little Macy's leg and pulled her over. She was traumatized. Note to self- don't bring the dogs on a camping trip with the Giles. Despite the mishaps we had a great time, so... Another note to self- go camping with the Giles again!
