Adventure Time!


So this last weekend Will went up AF canyon to camp and to do the
Archery Elk Hunt.
He went up with his friend Jed, Amber, and Danny.
So Saturday I got a call from him around 5pm letting me know his Elk tag had fallen out of his pocket and he asked me to go pick him up a duplicate.
Being the wonderful wife I am I did and then started to head up the canyon to meet them.
It was 6 o'clock when I started up the canyon.
Then the "Fun" began.
He had told me to meet them at a certain point up the
Alpine Loop.
Once I got to the assumed meeting point I waited about 10 minutes and they weren't there yet.
I figured maybe I was at the wrong place so I began to head farther down the Alpine Loop.
However when I reached Aspen Grove I thought I'd gone too far.
Turned around and headed back up.
Once I got back to the original place they still weren't there.
So I headed toward Cascade Springs thinking maybe I was suppose to head that way.
After driving about 20 minutes I knew I'd gone too far again. At this point its around
7:30pm and I was beyond frustrated and annoyed.
Turning around YET AGAIN I flew back and this time totally missed the original spot and
I was back at Aspen Grove...I kept going.
And arrived at the Provo Canyon part where you begin the Alpine Loop.
I wanted to SCREAM!
And this whole time I was trying to call Will to see where he was at.
Of course phone service is hard to come on in the canyon but it was worth a try.
I got back to the original spot and sat.
The phone rang and it was Will.
"Where the heck are you!!"
I repeated it back. Lol.
We both were quite annoyed.
I should have waited longer at the spot apparently.
He said to head towards Cascade Springs and I'd start going downhill...I was driving while talking to him and heard him say something about a dirt road that he'd be waiting for me at.
Then my phone lost service so I headed towards where I thought he'd be.
I stopped at a dirt road and the car that was behind me flew past.
It was well after 8pm and it was dark outside.
I saw no one...turned around and proceeded to stop by every dirt road.
To no avail.
Pissed off and tired I simply drove back to the original place to call him again.
A few seconds later a car pulled up behind me and Police lights were flashing.
As if my night could get any worse.
The officer walked up to my window and said
"You look like a wife lost looking for your husband."
Well yes I was!
He said Will had flagged him down and asked if he'd seen a Mazda driving around and explained it was his wife looking for him.
Luckily the officer lead me to him.
I finally got there after almost 3 HOURS of driving all around the stupid canyon.
Tired, annoyed, and hungry.

To end this long story I got to go up to their camp and got a nice dinner, and spent time hanging around the campfire for awhile.
Needless to say I think my experience of the Alpine Loop will last me for a nice while.
