Friday May 15th Adventures

Another beautiful day here in SLC, about 70 degrees and a little cloudy. Toby and I took off from the house back into Little Cottonwood canyon and met Future at some boulders to do some climbing. Time quickly went by and we eventually called it a day at lunch time. After a quick bite to eat we jumped on our bikes and headed up Millcreek to the Pipeline trail. I paid a little better attention to the odometer this time, and by the time we got back to the house is was right at 14 miles, and that's 1/2 uphill!!!

I was feeling really good today so after another quick bite to eat (gotta keep the body fed) I took off on a hike up the mountain behind the house. After one hour and five minutes I reached a good place to take a break and write in my journal for bit. It was such an amazing feeling sitting on the mountain, over looking Salt Lake City with Mount Olympus across the canyon to the south. I had to question why I have been living in the midwest for so long???

After a long hike down, which can be just as tiring when traversing loose rock and steep hills, I decided to take the evening off and relax. Taco salad again for dinner, man I'm hook on this stuff!

Here are some pics for ya:
