Provo River Rapids

Yesterday was my first official day as a Provo River Raft Guide. I did the river twice, the first trip was a couple of teenage girls from the east coast who now believe that moose hide under water and that piranhas are native to the Utah. The second group was a bunch of scouts. Four rafts full of them. The entire 6 miles of river was an extended water fight.

green valley gap to guardsman's pass




Last week me and a couple buddies woke up early Friday and 3.5 hours later found ourselves in St. George, Utah. We climbed the famous Chuckwalla wall and then spent the evening with my grandparents. We spent Saturday biking a trail in the Green Valley Gap. What a sweet ride! After finishing the trail we looked to the Gap itself where we repelled into the red rock chasm and took turns climbing out. That night we ran into a couple of friends who happened to have access to a hot tub. Drove home Sunday morning and managed to make church. Parting ways with my buddies I crashed at my parents' place in Salt Lake. Monday was spent up at 9,000 ft with my dad and brother measuring the depth of the snow at Guardsman's Pass. Not a bad weekend.

Epic New Year

2007 will be a year for adventures.  Last week's adventure was surviving the medieval illness that threatened my immune system.
