    I'm flying out today, with a drink in hand already as I hate flying. I had a really bad experience like 10 years ago when we flew to Vegas. Worst plane ride ever. Ever since then, I won't get on a plane without at least 3 drinks!

    I was doing some research on Zion National Park. Some of the hiking trails are ridiculous! I think one was called Angel's Landing. It looks to be about 4 feet wide and the deep canyon is below! As some of you know, I'm a photography junkie, so I'm way excited about some of the great photo op's that I'll have out there.
    That's my favorite hike of all time. Before you get too freaked out, on one of my trips I ran into a woman and her son at the top. They were celebrating her 70th birthday. My wife and I vowed to do the same on ours. The last half mile is somewhat of a scramble, and they have chains tethered to the rock for support if you need it. It's not particularly difficult, but it will freak you out some - especially if you are afraid of heights.

    The other hike there that I really like a lot is the Narrows. It's a 17 mile all day hike, and in parts it is a very narrow slot canyon cut by the Virgin river. You probably can't go this time of year because the water level is likely too high. Rent neoprene boots for this one, and plan on spending about a third of the day in the river, because it's sheer 1000 foot rock walls on either side. Yeah, it's cold water, but you get used to it pretty quickly.

            I've been major busy with work stuff here but this area is absolutely beautiful. I can't wait until the weekend when I can get out and do some hiking.

            Also, had a beer tonight called Polygamy Porter. Good stuff !!

                GBRulz,

                If while drinking your Polygame Porter, some guy walks up to you and coyly says, "I think you are just the woman for wife #5" you drop that beer and get the hell out of there!

                  If you go to 200 West Center Street in Provo.......that's where the "across the border" bar dance scene in "Footloose" was filmed.

                    You could have gone to Moab, about 200 miles S/E and had a ball! EJS(Easter Jeepers Safari) was a blast ! Sites, Parties, Great Wheeling, Babes, Boobs, Awsume 4x4's. What more can a man ask for ? Big tires, Big boobs, Big rocks !

                      How about asking for a membership to the Green Bay Packers Fan Club?

                      C'mon, Bearman! We all know you are a later Packers fan just waiting to shed your bearskin!

                        In your case, I'd say a half ass decent QB.

                            So Bearman,

                            Is your response an "Undecided," a "Maybe" or an "I will have to consult with my Ouiji Board?"
