Labor Day Camping with Friends

Saturday morning we packed up the car and stopped at the library to get more Louis Lamour for the drive to Flagstaff. We met up with Mike, Robin, and Josh at Biff's Bagels. Casson kept Selah, and the rest of us went off on a nice bike ride through the forest south of Flagstaff. There were wild flowers everywhere! It began to hail and rain, of course, but luckily it didn't get muddy enough to stop our progress. That was my first mountain bike ride in about a year, actually since Flagstaff last Labor Day. Then we found a nice camping spot for the night. Mike read a chapter of Wind in the Willows by firelight, in which Toad was imprisoned. And we heard Casson read the Ugly Duckling in the morning, while we enjoyed hot mochas, chocolated by Nestle's little Abuelita. Selah was not too lucid in the morning, but did hang out with Josh a bit. The three friends left to go ride in Sedona, while the three of us packed up and took off for a volcanic vacation.
