Feeling ho-hum?

Allow yourself to recapture the joy and wonder of childhood




500 Adventure Mile Challenge


Yes, we are insane. We have ADD. And, now we have various injured body parts.

We set out this year (we have a little over three months left) to do 200 miles of hiking, 200 miles of biking, and 100 miles of boating this year. So far we've completed the boating, only 20 miles short on biking and still have a whopping 80 miles left of hiking. Too bad we didn't include hitchhiking in the challenge because different logistical challenges inherent in long hikes and boating have led me to do at least 20 miles of that so far! Here are a few pics from a few of our trips to get it done.

P.S. This is partly why I've been so bad about blogging; the other part is because we have been slaving away on our back yard--I'll post pics soon.

The mighty watercraft

Can you see the switchbacks in the picture below? We hiked down 'em!





P.P.S. Zion is definitely in my top two favorite national parks!
