Day Three

Though I missed a few of my comrades who had taken the early car home, this was my favorite day. We woke in the morning, cold and dark. I was on the breakfast crew so I headed over to the kitchen to get it started. We had omelets with the choices of mushrooms, peppers, ham, and cheese. They turned out delicious, if I do say so myself. After we had cooked the meal, we gathered together to pack and clean our residence. It was a sad day to say goodbye to land, friends, and experience that we had learned to love over the time we were there. Linda, Jeffery, Brittany and I stayed behind to go on one last hike. After some debate and indecision, we finally decided that we would go to Cohab Canyon, a switchback trail that leads to many slot canyons. It was believed that this area was one of the places where polygamists would hide as the authorities would come through searching for the offenders; I could believe it. Some of the area was like a maze. Walls were close and it took a lot of effort to climb. I think if someone was searching for another it would take long time to find the person they were searching for. After exploring about four of the slot canyons, we came to a big balanced rock and took a picture. I had forgotten my camera, so Jeffery used his camera and was the photographer. After taking pictures at the rock, we turned around on the trail and walked from whence we came. At the bottom was a historical house that was part museum and part store. We bought ice cream and a strawberry/ rhubarb pie which was shared among us. Then it was time to say good-bye to the land and all its beauty. We packed up, stopped at the visitor's center briefly, and headed home. It was an exhausting day so Jeffery and Brittany fell asleep in the back seat while Linda drove the long way home and I kept her company when I wasn't napping.
