Yes this blog is about what happened last weekend, and tomorrow starts another one. Man have I been busy (but don't ask me what with, because I don't know!) Last weekend started out as a normal weekend with me mentioning that maybe we should go hiking on Saturday. Creed agreed and so after a few hours of cleaning and napping we were off. We meant to only be gone a few hours, but somehow ended up spending most of the day "exploring" Spanish Fork Canyon, but mostly just the Diamondback fork. We didn't have a map, but we stopped by the one that the forest ranger post and decided that there was a trail or two. So off we drove. Well, I would have to say that I was pretty disappointed in the hiking in that area, why, because there really is only one marked trail and there is no parking for 6 miles before or after the start. There was one little trail that we hiked up, but it wasn't really marked and was sort of hidden, which meant that no one else was there, but it wasn't very friendly for carrying Sarah up. But it was fun. The only problem with the whole thing was that it took us roughly four hours to finally stop and get out and actually hike. We did stop and get out every now and again, if not to sooth my nerves and remind me that we were still alive. Yes, I needed reminding. Why you might ask, because of the roads, if you can call them that. Everyone we passed on these dirt roads was either on a four wheeler, or in a four wheel drive car. We were in our Toyota Camry, which surprisingly did quite well. I am posting a picture of the road at one point, and this part was one of the better parts. We did make it back home alive and just in time to have a game night with Caroline and Michael and another couple. Though I have to admit that the rest of the weekend and part of this week have been a blur, because I womped my head on a tree coming down the mountain, and not really on the tree, but on a knot on the tree. All in all I had a great weekend and am glad that we went on this adventure. Sarah loved the mountain air, especially when the wind blows, I don't know why, but she really loves wind.
