Springtime in the Desert

Last week we went down south to visit Bri, Alina and the boys. After driving through a complete whiteout in Spanish Fork Canyon it turned out to be a very nice weekend. We Climbed on Potash Friday, Hiked up Mill Creek Friday evening and went Backpacking Saturday and Sunday. While Bri, River and I went Backpacking the girls even found time to watch 8 hours of Pride and Prejudice and 4 hours of Wives and Daughters. I was really sad that I missed 8 hours of Mr. Darci.

Kell and Bre climbing above Potash.

Brian, River and I headed down to Cedar Mesa on saturday and sunday. We went down Bullet Canyon to the Confluence of Grand Gulch.

This is at the Perfect Kiva Ruin which was found in near perfect condition in the late 1800's. They have since stabalized the roof so you can go inside. Kiva's are thought to have been used by the Anasazi's for spirtual or religous ceremonies. It is amazing to think of the work that went into building these structures.

Looks like you guys had a lot of fun. You guys need to come with us to St. George and stay there and go hiking. It would be alot of fun.

That's not how you spell "Mr. Fitzwilliam DARCY", Ty, come on!
And I can't believe Bre didn't make you mention how delicious Roger Hamley was from "Wives and Daughters", he's the cutest entomologist ever (besides River, of course).

It was a fun time, thanks for coming.
