Myself, River, Ridge and the Scouts went up and camped in Arches over the weekend and hiked into some petroglyphs I had not yet been to. Why do all 12 years old boys have to be so annoying?
Sunset in Devils Garden Sunrise in Devils Garden Happy shiny people holding hands A herd of elk The new trail around the fallen Wall Arch. You can see where the arch used to be in the background
Wow, You could not have paid me to do that. I think I taught part of the first aid merit badge to your scouts a few months ago. And by the end of the night, I was ready to throw myself in front a moving car. Annoying was being polite, they were from hell. I think all 12 year olds are, getting released from deacons was the greatest day of my life. Anyway did you hear about the 3 cow elk hanging out in the field across from Power House Lane? I have not seen them but I have talked to a few people that have seen them.
"When I hear the stock market has fallen, I say, "Long live gravity! Long live stupidity, error and greed in the palaces of fantasy capitalism!" I think an economy should be based on thrift, on taking care of things, not on theft, usury, seduction, waste, and ruin. My purpose is a language that can make us whole, Though mortal, ignorant, and small. The world is whole beyond human knowing."
-Wendell Berry, agrarian philosopher
"Where can one find a healthier and purer delight than when on a brilliant winter day one binds one's ski to ones feet and takes one's way out into the forest?... Civilization is, as it were, washed clean from the mind and left far behind with the city atmosphere and city life; one's whole being is, so to say, wrapped in one's ski and surrounding nature"
Fridtjof Nansen, Norwewgian adventurer and Ski Hero, first to cross Greenland on skis.
"Of what avail are forty freedoms without a blank spot on the map?"
Aldo Leopold
"And they did preserve the land south as a wilderness, to get game.."
Book of Mormon, Ether 10:21
Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The wind will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves. -- John Muir

I think the words "scouts" and "annoying" just go together. Pretty pictures though.
