Labor Day Weekend

For Labor Day weekend, we decided to go camping up on the rim north of Payson. Dave and Kathy went up on Friday night and Marcia and I pulled our camper up Saturday morning. They found a really nice spot right on the rim. We didn't really do much all weekend besides hang out at our campsite and relax.





Paul really wanted to come with us, but couldn't because he was on-call for work. Dave called him and rubbed it in. Here's where Paul could have set up his tent.



Later in the afternoon, I lit up some of that Iowa oak that my dad brought me last winter. It sure does burn well for a campfire.



Here Marcia poses near the edge. Not 30 feet from where we setup our campers was a 500 foot cliff where you could see for miles.
