The
"preachers" (teachers and priests) from our ward had a great adventure last week:
Pack, Peddle, Paddle. They backpacked for three days in the Uintas, then took a 40-mile bike ride, followed by a day on the river in rafts and canoes. Michael was a participant in this event and I got to drive some of the boys and their packs in Michael's truck to the trailhead: 2 1/2 hours to Roosevelt, 1/2 hour east and then 1 hour on a dirt road going 25 mph. After dropping them off I turned around and made the trip home - an eight-hour round trip! It was fun to see them head off into the mountains with their packs.
Much better than the last time I was at this trailhead: 12 years ago I dropped Brian off there with the Scouts to hike King's Peak. It was pouring rain and I was leaving my first son on his first backpacking trip and everything he owned was wet. I cried most of the way home.

Hey Janet, you are getting very good at posting interesting family events. Way to go girl!!
I have a crush on Michael. Seriously. That is one very very handsome 16 year old boy!
I am happy you were able to make the 8 hr. drive safely and that Michael also returned safely from that long adventure. Wow! just to be able to do that.
