Adventure Time: Moab Edition

With the exception of the group shot all of these were taken on my
iPhone so they aren't the best but you get the idea.

This was a fun climb and it was conveniently
located right next to camp.

The view from inside

     I've been putting off posing anything the last few weeks because I keep thinking I'm going to get some sort of response from the Utah Food Bank. No such luck. I really don't know why they didn't respond, I was just curious and trying to get more information about how things work over there. I wasn't trying to change the world or tell them what's wrong with their operations but I figured if my ideas were correct I would be able to do something useful. I think they didn't respond because they either didn't take me seriously, didn't care, or didn't want to give me that much data. Or maybe they thought I was a hippy. I do hate hippies so I totally sympathize if that's the case. My problem with hippies is that they never get anything DONE. They have a lot of lovely ideas that on the surface seem nice and might help but in reality just make things worse or are impossible to implement realistically... Maybe I was acting like a hippy... that's a scary thought. Stupid hippies. 

Most of the crew at Delicate Arch in Arches
 National Park. Looks cold huh?

      This is a week late in coming but for the three day presidents day weekend I went down to Moab with some friends. Before we left I was having a conversation with Ammon about how it was likely going to snow and the trip might end up being very fun or very miserable. He said the two were not mutually exclusive which I thought was a valid point. He ended up being completely right.

       It was a great trip and it was cool to see the arches in the snow because snow and arches just don't seem like they belong together. But it was also cold. Dang cold. It snowed a lot on Sunday and I and several others in the crew got kind of wet because of it, that was one of the most miserable couple of hours I have ever spent camping that's for sure. 

      

       Monday was beautiful but I don't have any of the pictures right now. I'm sure they will show up on facebook soon enough though. I also managed to add another minor injury to the list as well. I'm still not sure how I did it but I bruised my foot. Apart from that I have also managed to hurt my tailbone doing dumb things on my snow board a few weeks ago, my feet always have a couple of blisters on them in various stages of healing from playing soccer (apparently I need new shoes) and I hurt my thumb playing dodge ball at an elders quorum activity Saturday. I can never decide if I get too into whatever sport/outdoor activity that I'm currently involved in or if I'm just a clumsy guy. It's probably a little of both but I personally think that it's the second thing. Oh well, such is life. The good news is all those injuries are pretty much healed at this point. Except the blisters. About the time they finish healing I add a new set because I play soccer every Thursday night at 10 in the Wells Fargo parking garage. But it's totally worth it. 

       I've noticed that all of my posts either have a political theme or random adventure theme. My next post is already in the works and it's a political one for sure. I'm just warning you now so that you don't have to read it if you don't want to. I love politics but even I start rolling my eyes when some of my friends start going off on some rant. Happy Leap Day everyone! Make it a good one and do something crazy! Because real life is for March.
