Haunted Camping

Davis decided that he wanted to be scared this Halloween and not the sit at home and watch a scary movie kind of scared, but in the middle of nowhere terrified in the woods scared so.....that's what we did.


We went to the Green River Gorge, this is a protected conservation area.  Franklin, an old ghost town was once a hopping place and the mining shaft that once kept the economy alive was the exact spot of our camping.  We hiked to the mining shaft, dropped off our gear, and went to find the metropolis of Franklin.  This is what we found...

 yes, those pictures are what's left of the town


 Mary and I set up the tent and we did a fabulous job ;)

we didn't bring cups so we used beer bottles

the mine shaft, this is where we camped...well right beside it

 Reese cup smores, yum!
 the top of the shaft was covered with a metal grate, no worries about falling in

This is probably one of the scariest things I have ever done.  I cannot explain why or how, but if you want to be scared go sleep in an old ghost town on Halloween weekend.  I think I may have slept a total of 3 hours...yesterday I took a long nap and I still need sleep.  I hope everyone's Halloween was as spooky as mine ;)  Happy Halloween!  Remind us that we never want to do this again next Halloween, please.

Marchez Vous



This past weekend was a busy one....

Friday night I did a show for the YWCA, where all proceeds went to Dress for Success.  I scored some good deals as did Carly (the outfit she is in above was scored at this show).  My phone was stolen at this event :(  What a bummer!

Saturday I did an event for JGilbert and Yeardley Smith (Lisa from the Simpson's).  It was the launch of her new shoe collection, and I can vouch that they are pretty fantastic.  I was standing in them the entire day and crazy enough I put them back on after my feet starting hurting in another pair of heels at a wedding later that evening.  That's when you know you have a comfy pair of heels!  (Pics above are from this event)

Check out the article on the event
