Anniversary

Happy Anniversary to us!! We celebrated our 6th this past weekend by treating ourselves to a weekend up at Solitude. After a great morning ride on the Wasatch Crest trail and down Mill Creek Canyon we went home put the bikes away and headed up to Solitude for a weekend stay. We decided to play a round of frisbee golf. We bought tickets for the chair ride up to the top of the course and walked out to get on the lift. Once on the lift after about 200yds I heard rustling below us. I turned around to see my friend Bullwinkle running under us on the lift. Nice young Bull on his way to the forest or chasing us up the lift?
After the moose we went and played the rough and tumble sport of Frisbee golf. Let me tell you, triathletes are sissies!! After 13 holes I could not trow the damn frisbee anymore my pec and shoulder hurt every time!! How pathetic, I can exercise for 11 hours, but can't throw a frisbee more than 50 times!!
Anyway, while wandering around the mountain side we saw about a thousand Picas. These things are NOT endangered. Man, they were everywhere!!
We returned to the condo to soothe my arm in a bottle of Chardonay!! Good relief, much better than Advil!! While sitting we saw a humming bird sitting in a tree, resting I guess.
Finally we went to dinner at Mimi's, the new restaurant there. Fairly good food, not crowded at all. Then the next morning, after waiting to get coffe until 8am, we went for a nature walk, no animals though. We went to brunch, which was very good and headed down canyon.
A great getaway, even if it is only 10 or so miles away!! Here's looking at another excellent year to come!!!
