We climbed a little rock formation and had a good time. Let's just say we won't have spaghetti on the camp food menu again. We didn't realize it was that messy until we saw the pictures, as we ate after dark.

We went camping up Madera canyon and the flower was beautiful and the moon amazing as it was rising at sunset.
