Sara worked Wednesday night, so after getting a few hours of sleep in we loaded up Thursday afternoon and set up camp at Lago Linda. We decided to climb at Miller Fork, and unfortunately picked up a nail on the way to the crag. Luckily, we got it plugged, swapped, then aired up and placed back without too much trouble. Some southern hospitality pointed us in the direction of a tire shop that happened to be less than a mile from where we were, and still on the way to the crag (Thanks Russ!)
The dogs appreciated getting out of the car and heading to the Secret Garden after the delayed start to the morning. We climbed hippie lip balm and fuzzy side up then made our way over to little wing which was a fantastic route! Probably one of the more fun 9s I've been on in the gorge. Friday night gave us some unexpected rain, but we were more than prepared bringing out the switch and rocking some Mario Kart.
Danny and Gabi met up with us before driving back into Miller Fork Saturday morning to hit up the Sanitarium and The Nursery. We also managed to convince a few bluegrass ultimate players to join us, so the energy was high for the day! We put up stick in the eye, nursery time, and master of puppets before popping over to end of state maintenance. I don't know if I was just a little pumped on day two, but that route humbled me attempting to get it put up (better be spending more time on overhangs in the gym).
Saturday night we broke in the grill for the first time and it worked splendidly! We will definitely be bringing food to prepare outside going forward instead of always relying on the stove. A bachelor party happened to be in the site next to us, and we connected over a handful of beers (which lead to a lazier than expected Sunday) and all we can say is for the wedding, we're team groom!
