places blog1971, hamster, boulder mountain utah

we took a camping trip with our hamster to boulder utah, and it lived in our food tent while it rained and rained and rained and we were trapped inside that tent fo four days with floods streaming past our campsite....one of our daughters remembers the hamster getting into all our food, and i remember building a dam to catch the water...we were on boulder mountain above the red rocks of cedar breaks and byrice canyons, and the flood waters aound all our tent was pink....we almost wreaked our sedan getting up, that rocky road and our reward was rain everyday....i guess the hamster made it back alive, however....torrey, population 35 was the closest town to our campsite, where provisions were purchased
