What a fun weekend I just had. So my friends Anne, Erica, and Arilee decided to take a little road trip to the Great Basin in Baker NV. Random I know, all of us were a little weary about, but decided what the heck lets try it out. Good choice on our part, because I think each of us had the best time of our lives! Words can hardly explain our trip. Baker NV is quite the place! Pretty much all I can say is that this trip was PRICELESS! So our story begins here, we started out at the visitors center and the worker there told us that we better start looking for a camp site because they were filling up fast. We were kind of taken by surprise because I think all of us thought we would be the only ones in the Great Basin that weekend, but boy were we wrong. It took us over an hour and a half to find a spot because all four campsites were full, so we ended up staying in a site with no facilities! :( But we had a prime spot all to ourselves!! Once we found the spot we had heard there was cowboys poetery going on and we weren't about to miss out on that. Boy are we glad we went.... IT WAS AWESOME! After it was over we had a chance to meet the famous cowboys and they told us about the parade and booth happening in the morning that we just had to go to! Once we didn't miss out. The Parade in Baker was AWESOME! Nothing can beat a small town parade. ( I mean small town, the whole town consist of 25 people) Sure enough I totally scored a bargin at the booths. This town had the parade and booths for a fundraiser. Because I guess some guy from Vegas wants to take the water rights and ship water from there to Vegas, taking all there water and BAKER IS NOT HAPPY! So hence trying to raise money they did these booths. We I totally scored I got the whole 4 book series of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants for $1.50. Can't be that! Now we are to the part where words can't describe the rest of out trip. Lets just say Baker has one heck of a sense of HUMOR! They had the craziest things on the side of the road that my friends and I spend the rest of the afternoon taking pictures because we knew no one would believe us without proof! We ended our trip with a tour of the Lehman Caves. It was an hour and a half tour through this amazing cave. It was awesome the only way to show you is to see it for yourself, it is pretty amazing. It was definately one of the best trips of my life. I don't think I have laughed that hard in a really long time. There is nothing like spending time with good friends and having a good laugh for 36 hours straight. Gas to Baker $40, Food $18, Tour of Cave $10, seeing the town of Baker PRICELESS!!! So these pictures aren't even close to everything so there will be more pictures to come. The first picture is all of us with our finger friends! The second picture is me enjoying my awesome Ice cream cone. The 3rd picture is called the parachute in the Lehman cave. The 4th picture is one of the many things you see on the side of the road while traveling through Baker, this is a picture of Too Tall Tom. Finally the last picture is the first thing you see when you enter into Baker, and seriously WHOA is the word that comes to mind when you think of Baker.
