July 24th at Current Creek
Instead of Jackson Hole this summer, the fam decided to take our yearly Larsen get away to Current Creek and do some camping, canoeing, fishing and just plain lounging around.
After a drive up Provo canyon, we zipped through Heber, a slow climb over Daniels Summit (Ed was only able to climb over Daniels Summit at 30 miles an hour} travel down a very loooong dirt/pavedre road...... we made it to Current Creek.  Hooray!
   














 A long drive up the dirt road in the dark is bound to disorient and confuse even the best outdoor enthusiast.  Yes Morgan and Chase got lost.  After some backtracking, they found the campground at 1 in the morning.   Who is to say they were driving around.....only Morgan and Chase will know the answer to that question.

Froggie and Bullfrog-love water.  But shouldn't frogs love water?

We did a little mountain bike riding!  The boys did a lot of mountain bike riding!We sat by the campfire, ate lots of food, paddled around Current Creek (Why do they call it current creek?)and enjoyed each others company.
  On the way home, Kevin decided to try the dirt road that comes out by Timberlakes to see if it was faster and/or shorter.  Don't know about that!  It was definetely prettier and worth the dirt road.  Ed wasn't too happy about the drive and we lost the cable to the accelarator.  So the McQuiver's tied a rope to the lever in the back and thread it through the bus where Kevin had to pull the rope to get Ed to go, shift and stear.  It was slow going, but who cares when you are driving a VW bus. (I can't get my pictures of the McQuiver rope to load, so please use your imagination).
All in all.  A good weekend!
