So this past weekend Josh and I were able to hang out with our good friends Matt and Brittany! We went snowshoeing up in the spruces but every time we hang out it always turns into an adventure, and thats why we like to hang out with them so so so much!
Let me explain: We started up Big Cottonwood canyon around 10:30am but didn't get shoeing until about 11:45am... As we were driving up the canyon in the Rain/Snow mixture, better know as SLUSH, we watch a Dodge truck almost drive right off the cliff! We were turning a sharp curve when the truck took a nose drive right into the huge bank of snow that separated them from near death!! After about 20 minutes of digging and trying to push we decided that it would be smarter if we drove up to the next rest stop area to see if there was a cop or someone with a tow rope! And it probably didn't help that this poor kid had no idea how to drive!
Every other time Josh and I have drove this part of the canyon we have seen a cop but of course when we needed one there was no one to be seen; but we did find a very nice person who was willing to let us borrow his tow rope! We drove back down and after getting the knots all good and tight Misty, Josh's 4-Runner, pulled that dodge out with no problem :) Josh has never been more proud! O and if it looks like the front tire on the passengers side is hanging off the cliff that is because it was!
LESSON LEARNED: If you see someone who needs help, really needs help, it is a good idea to help!!! There was only 1 other car who stopped!
We finally got up to the spruces and started to hike. About a half way through it started to rain but we figured we would be ok and just kept going! And it only started to snow on the way down, for most of the time it was that fun stuff called SLUSH! But by the time we got up to the top of Doughnut Falls we were all soaking wet! Josh and Matt looked like two little Cats who had just been dunked in a huge bucket of water!! Way sad :(
Even if we were way too wet when we got back all of us had a great time and admitted we would do it again in a second!!!
Until next time XOXO, E
