Breakfast at Epiphany's
6:55 a.m., Thursday, July 31
Jackson Campground
Things are better this morning. Woke up covered in dirt, but the coyote is gone and Rick seems none the worse for wear. All in all, I got maybe two hours of sleep.
On the bright side, the Sandy Canyon View Stake eats extremely well. The food committee—a column of vehicles that sets up at each night stop—works hard to feed 200 teenagers and adults.
Breakfast this morning was juice, French toast, pancakes, fruit and ogre vomit. There’s probably another name for the mix of eggs, corn meal, bacon, sausage, onions and whatever frapped’ into a goo and then fried. It looks awful but tastes fabulous. I went back for seconds. Needs Tabasco Sauce.
Maybe breakfast was a sign, something to the effect that even stuff that looks or seems awful can be good for you. Lord, I hope so.
Still no signal. Drove out five miles from camp looking for one to send this on. Nothing. We might as well be on Mars.
We leave for Independence Rock as soon as Jessica loads all the gear back into the 4-runner.
TREK TIP: Bring ear plugs. Not only do they keep out the noise when you’re trying to sleep, but also the dirt.

It's called Mountain Man Breakfast, and that Coyote came in handy.
