The previous teaser of the sun vomiting on Bryce Canyon could be the best way to describe this place (Bryce) but you can make that judgment for yourself. What is more difficult to describe, and possibly even more of a mystery than the geology here in Bryce, was the relationship between our campsite neighbors.
We were gearing up for temps in the 20’s, warming up by the campfire when we noticed the “couple?” across the way. He was a California surfer dude: long blonde hair, tan, and driving a Volkswagen Westfalia. (This van does have room for sleeping quarters for two- information that may be relevant later.) He couldn’t be younger than 40. She, no older than 27 was unpacking her mid-sized, hatchback SUV with Colorado tags. Upon his arrival Rach was immediately curious. We needed to know (or at least conjecture) as to the nature of their relationship.
Their conversation was blatantly uncomfortable for both them and us. By her accent, it was obvious she was German. He offered her hot tea a few times, she preferred water, and he agreed (every time.) They spent a few minutes sharing her pictures and drinking water while we started to develop theories. At this point, I was convinced he was her estranged father. She was on holiday in the US, just like half of Germany is right now (or so it seems) and he lives close enough, in Cali for a meeting in Southern Utah. The awkwardness of their conversation, the sharing of the pictures… it seemed like the classic awkward reunion of the non-custodial parent and child, with a German twist. At this point I was confident that was the case and quite happy for the father.
We enjoyed our campfire and began to make dinner. The next thing we new, they were in the van from which we could hear what sounded like music from a video game. Maybe they were playing a video game. His voice was definitely excited. The door slid shut, the music ended, and we stunned for about 30 minutes. (I don’t mean to imply too strongly that sexual relations took place – we do not know that for sure.) They came out for a moment and then retired in the van for the evening. Unfortunately, in the morning we left before we saw them again. That’s all we know.
Now it’s time for your guesses. Here are some theories from which you get start your thinking:
A) The father-daughter reunion is the case and the 30 minutes in the van was, in fact, for gaming.
B) That National Park Service sets up visiting Germans with locals for blind dates campsite style.
C) They are hard-core gamers and hikers, that met online and united for a little of both.
D) Off-season ski instructors last year reunite to rekindle the high-altitude passion.
E) Your guess is as good as any. Let’s hear it.
Oh- we also went to Capitol Reef National Park and they have great homemade pies.

E: They met on-line (some website for Germans traveling abroad) but there were no video games being played. :)
E: She was a hitchhiker traveling across the US from Germany. He picked her up on the side of the road and 'took her under his wing,' if you know what I mean. (I do mean to imply that there was sexual relations going on in that van and the video game music was a cover up.)

E: Not unlike another group of sexual fetishists, the "furries" (as discussed on entourage), this pair likes something different. They met on an online gaming site and decided to get together to re-enact the never-seen but obvious relationship between Mario and Peach, the princess. They went into the van to get dressed and make the sex, while the videogame music provided a necessary backdrop. For purposes of arrousal, the photos which were exchanged were screenshots of the gentleman playing either Mario 64 or Super Mario bros 2 for the original nintendo.
I need a job.
I came to your website to read about a young girl's erotic journey from Milan to Minsk, but kept reading because of your compelling Ali like return to the outdoors. You my friends are great Americans.
Keep it up.

E) They met online and decided to meet in person for a nice camping trip. They went in the van to "do it" and that music shouldn't surprise you if you know Germans. That is typical of the background soundtrack of German pornography. When the Berlin wall was destroyed in 1989, one of the first western influences (although actually coming from the Far East) to infiltrate the old Communist Bloc was Mario Brothers and Nintendo. This excited Germans so much so that it permeated the culture all the way to the seedy underbelly of adult entertainment. While it may have a different meaning to us in the States, I think we can understand their passion for the Mario theme.
They were rehearsing for an audition with the Aristocrats.
