A Not So Perfect Perfect Day

Do we do anything besides hike around here? As the pictures might suggest it was not a perfect day, but still, it was. We girls (Kris, Amy, Elizabeth and I) decided not to let a little inclimate weather stop us from hiking a new trail. Packing up our rain gear we headed out to do Thaynes Canyon looped to Salt Lake Overlook. A total of 6 miles, with 2000 feet of climbing in 1.8 miles and a long descent. It was a really cool trail, in Mill Creek Canyon. Much different from the more rocky high altitiude hikes of Big and Little Cottonwood Canyons, it is more woody and with a different feel. We had a new hiker/friend with us, Elizabeth, whom Amy met at a local fun raiser, she is super cool and I look forward to more outdoor adventures with her. Rich took care of some business at home while we played. He and I had a great bike ride up Emigration Canyon yesterday in perfect 70 degree sunshiney weather. I havent ridden in a long time and the long ride up was definately speaking to me on our hike today! This afternoon we started our NEXT project: the entryway. We took down that aweful border and now have to paint and put in a new light fixture. Looks so much better already! Hope ya'all had a great weekend too!
