Camping in Hanna

I have spent the past five days camping in Hanna (with a little interlude in Park City) and it has been wonderful.
Kristine and Trent were camping in Hanna the week of July 4 and they will camp there again all of next week so they decided to leave their camper there.  They asked me if I wanted to go up while their camper was just sitting empty and I immediately said yes!  Always say yes to an adventure!  I took three books with me (I finished two of them) and spent most of my time sitting outside and reading.  The campsite was ringed with pine trees and it seemed like there was always a breeze blowing through the trees.  It was so nice to be up in the mountains out of the heat in the valley.  Every afternoon it would rain for a little while so I would go inside the trailer and listen.  I love the sound of rain.
I loved looking at the sky as it would start to rain.  In the evenings I would go back outside and make dinner and then make a big fire.  I would spend the rest of the night sitting by the fire until it went out and the stars came out.
After the fire went out I would go inside the trailer and read late into the night.  It was so peaceful.  I thought that I would be a little bit freaked out to be up there by myself but I actually enjoyed it once I realized that the strange noises I head in the middle of the night were just the boughs of the trees hitting the trailer!  I also had a lot of squirrels to keep me company and one afternoon a deer came quite close to me.  It was such a great few days!
