Last Trip to Mountain

July 30- Went camping this weekend and found the camper full of flies.  Found hordes of them hiding underneath the sink.  They were flying everywhere and those who weren't flying, were crawling on the floors and in the tub.  Tried to shoo and scoop as many as we could.  We parked our camper in this spot down Littlehorn Road and didn't want to move again, and everyone else had their campers parked somewhere else, so we just decided we would stay where we're all at and just get together as needed....figured this would keep all the dogs apart too which would help.  While we were dealing with that, we noticed the fridge wasn't getting cold either.  Amongst us dealing with all this, Josh, Stacey, Alan, Stacy, and Autumn all showed up as we were all going to go on a ride together on the 4 wheelers.  It was later in the day by now, so it was just going to be a short ride, but just after Autumn pulled in on the yellow banana, she jumped out with her dog Penelope on the leash and Millie went up to say hi.  Penelope wasn't having it and attacked Millie. and pinned her to the ground biting her neck.  Dave jumped in the middle of it, kicking and pulling at Penelope to get her off Millie as it looked like she was going in for the kill.  Finally got them pulled apart, but Dave was mad and started yelling and at one point, sounded like he was telling Autumn to just go home (which, according to Dave, he said he was yelling that we, meaning me and him, need to go home).  Autumn got hurt by this and jumped in her ride and drove off, telling Dave to F-off and said she was leaving to go home with her kids and dogs.  Josh and Stacey drove off after her hoping to talk her from leaving.  Alan wasn't here during all this as he had left on his 4 wheeler for a ride while waiting for everyone to show up.  Dave decided he was going to take Millie home and that he'd be back later tonight cause she was bleeding from her ear.  Me and Jax and Stacy hung out to wait till Alan came back and then we all drove to Autumn's camp down Bigfoot road.  She stayed that night and we all got together and ate dinner and played games till dark.  Me and Jax drove back in the dark to our camp and Dave was there when we got back after taking Millie home.  The flies in our camper were all huddled down for the night thankfully, so we were able to get some sleep.  The next morning, Autumn and her kids drove down the mountain to go home and so did Josh and Stacey cause it was Sunday and they were going to church.  We stayed with Stacy and Alan and took a ride down Boulder Canyon.  This was the craziest, bumpiest, most dangerous ride of my life!!!  Hence, the name "Boulder Canyon".  We literally drove over the tops of boulders!  Every time we came to a crazy scary part, ma, Jax, and Stacy would all get out and watch from afar.  But somehow we survived and didn't get any flat tires!  On the way home, we stopped at Shell Falls to see the waterfalls.  Good weekend despite all the drama.  Needless to say, because of the fly infestation and the dog drama, we decided to pull the camper off the mountain after this trip and be done with camping for the summer. :(
