September 2008

So I thought I would put some pic's on here of our hike trip to King's Peak in the Uinta's. We went with some real cool friends (Eric & Dasha). He is a riot and can keep things lively, she is from Russia and is so sweet- it is fun to listen to them both talk as he has a southern accent and her Russian accent is very strong as she has only been in the USA for 2 years.
The weather was PERFECT and I was able to spend a day by myself (while they all hiked some more) to just bask in the quietness of the beautiful mountains. I read a whole book, slept, pondered life, and had one of the best days.
Eric and Dasha decided to head back out after that day because the night before for them was not pleasant. (He did not even sleep 10 min from being cold). I have a -30 degree sleeping bag so I was nice and toasty.
No one made it to the top of King's Peak because there was too much snow (yes, it is september) so we will have to go back next year : )
We did see LOTS of moose (9) total!!

I feel so special! You started a blog for me! Now I can keep up with your busy life. Your hike must have been fun. It looks beautiful! I can't believe you saw 9 moose. A couple weeks ago there was a moose over here in the valley. Jason almost hit it by Franklin Building Supply right there on the highway. I miss you soooooo much! Love ya!
