The first weekend in August we decided to go backpacking to Red Castle Lakes in the Uintas. It was so fun and beautiful. We took our little dog Maddy and she had so much fun. The hike was about 22 miles round trip and Maddy probably did 72 miles with all her running around. She was so tired every night she would walk right to the tent and lay down... she's so funny. The hike to the lower lake took 5 hours, it was a butt kicker considering we were carrying about 50 lbs on our backs( that's not entirely accurate, we didn't weigh our packs, but it sure felt like 50 freaking pounds). This was our base camp, then the next day we hiked to the upper lakes, backpack free, it was nice. We brought our fishing stuff too and fished the lower and middle lakes, it was pretty good fishing but too windy, and Ryan was catching all the fish anyway, what's up with that??

So Ryan and I got home exhausted Sunday night and headed back to work our 3 twelves saving lives. Then thursday we left for the cabin to rock out at the Blue Grass Festival at Grand Targhee. I'm definitely a fan of blue grass now. They set the stage up and the bottom of the bunny hill and everyone sits on the ski hill with their blankets, chairs, hula hoops and beer. It's quite the experience, and the food there was awesome!! They had the best green curry and mexican food booth ever.
