I have been thinking about the nature of love a lot lately. And how to avoid the loss of it. If you ever can avoid the loss of it. I’ve been talking with friends about past break-ups and current ones, especially as they involve the loss of your first love. Here is what I have [...]

Throughout the summer, as you well know, Heather and I have been going on hikes with the Mt. Olympus Presbyterian group. We met a great couple there named Nancy and Dave:
As you’ll remember from a previous entry, I started taking piano lessons again and found myself in need of a piano. I visited a piano [...]
Cecret Lake again!

Went to Cecret Lake again, with a different group of Mt. Olympus Presbyterians. I want to go on this hike once more before summer’s over—when my brother and his fiancee visit. I figure it’s a pretty easy hike, and during their visit they won’t have much time to adjust to the high altitude, so easier [...]

Mt. Olympus…and we live to hike another day
Posted in Utah, emotions, food, friendship, nature on July 18, 2009 | 9 Comments »
We did it. We hiked Mt. Olympus. Started at 5:45 a.m., took enough breaks so we didn’t die, got to the top about three hours later, spent 45 minutes lunching on the summit, and finished the day after a total of eight hours. Picked the perfect day, too. Not. Sunny and 101 degrees at least! [...]
hike yesterday and hike tomorrow and I’m nervous

Yesterday Heather and I went with the Mt. Olympus Presbyterian hiking group up Little Cottonwood Canyon to Catherine’s Pass via Albion Basin. I figured it would be easy-peasy—between 2-3 miles round trip, with less than 800 feet elevation gain. Somehow it still tired us out…maybe because we leave right from work, after a full day. [...]
We came, we saw, we camped.

Heather and I went on another hike with the Mt. Olympus Presbyterian hiking group Thursday, on Mill B North Fork Trail to Overlook about five miles up Big Cottonwood Canyon. That wasn’t enough to satiate our appetite for the outdoors. The following day, we drove to the Stansbury Mountains (North Willow Canyon) to camp out [...]

Today after work Heather and I had a hilarious, scary, adventurous hike. It was probably—simultaneously—our least favorite hike and our favorite hike. I would write about it all, but I don’t know that it would be as funny to anyone else. All I remember was when I almost peed myself laughing because I was paralyzed [...]
hike almost to Grandeur Peak

Heather and I joined a hiking group from Mt. Olympus Presbyterian and went up Millcreek Canyon to the Grandeur Peak trail. We could’ve gone to the top, but our leader had to leave at a certain time, so we turned around maybe 30-45 minutes from the top. We weren’t disappointed. It was a lovely, secluded [...]
hike at sunset

Heather and I are dogsitting a dog named Tucker, an Alaskan Siberian husky. We took her for a hike at sunset tonight. We laughed a lot, which made it hard to have enough breath to get up the hill. Heather fell a couple times and we almost peed our pants.
I am having a lot of [...]
