DRIVING TO CEDAR CITY
In Cedar City, we got Arby's burgers to feed the dogs. We drove to the local soccer park and walked the dogs. I went potty in the restrooms. Hubby drove down to pick me up.
We stopped at the CAL Ranch store so Hubby could buy some dog food as we forgot it at home. There were some VERY OLD PEOPLE that had driven an old pickup with a HUGE horse trailer. I watched them load supplies into the truck when they came outside.
Hubby had eaten too much bread from Arby's sandwich, so he was having problems with his stomach.
Drove over to Smith's so I could run inside and get SMORES, milk for lattes.
We also stopped at Beans & Brews where I got blueberry muffins and cinnamon bread for tomorrow's breakfast. And frozen lattes to drink now.
Hubby finally felt better after he burped many times.
We drove up into the mountains. Both of us felt pretty good because we stopped so long in Cedar City, and we had taken the Altitude sickness pills we had purchased on Amazon.
We got up to the intersection of the Cedar Breaks road thru the park and Cedar Canyon. We took the dogs for a walk down to the creek. Riley and Tater just LOVED jumping and running thru the cold water. Riley kept snorkeling her nose in the water and trying to jump over it.
Riley ran around so much. She was having fun. I had PBJR on a leash. My heart was not even doing badly with the walk down to the creek and back up.
We drove towards Cedar Breaks and camped where we always do on Candy Loop and Midway Ridge.
Set up camp, let the dogs run. Riley ran across the field looking for birds. Tater disappeared into the woods. PBJR just hung around with us.
DOGS CHECKING OUT CAMPER AT FIRST CAMP

DOGS NAPPING AFTER OUR 3RD WALK
Hubby started a fire after we came back from our 2nd walk.
Then some idiot in a car decided to drive thru camp and then parked not 50 yards from us. Hubby and Tater walked over to see what he was doing. Not setting up a tent or camper. He seemed to be sleeping in his car? It was VERY CREEPY.
So we decided to move camp across the field. But it was really wet over there on the ground and had no trees for coverage. I was upset. It got really cold. Hubby made a fire, but I could only sit out for about an hour.
Tater had been shivering, so we put the dogs in the camper early. PBJR keep whining because she did not want to be alone.
Hubby roasted his bratwurst. I went inside early with the dogs
NEW CAMP ON OTHER SIDE OF FIELD
OUR SECOND FIRE OF THE NIGHT
RILEY PHOTO-BOMBED OUR SELFIE
After I went inside and warmed up the camper with the propane stove, I sat down to deal cars for UNO. Hubby finally came inside after the fire died down a little.
We played several games of cards.
Then I could not stay awake any longer. Got into bed. It was impossible to fix the comforters because the dogs were already on top of them. Tater was smashed in the middle. Riley was at my feet. PBJR was next to Hubby.
At Midnight, the wind started to blow. Hubby went outside to investigate. There was a mist? Or was it rain? He decided to bring everything inside that we had outside. (Packed it up for the 3rd time!)
I could not sleep. Then I could not breathe. Then I became panicky. Took a Nitro pill.
Told Hubby that I had to get down off the mountain.
We packed everything up. I was dizzy and disoriented. Got the dogs loaded in the truck.
Hubby drove us down (we saw quite a few cars driving up the mountain at 1AM)
Finally got to Cedar City. It was deserted. No cars in town at all.
We got on the interstate. Listened to 1970's music on Spotify. I kept taking shots of Oxygen from the bottle we bought. I took several Nitros.
I finally felt better by St George.
We got thru the gorge and into Mesquite.
At home, we unloaded the dogs. It was about 2AM.
I took a hot bath. Then sat on the sofa and slept.
We finally went to bed and slept until 9AM the next morning.
