So I figured it was time for an update, and with our recent trip down to capital reef with our cousins, the Mozer family, there was a marvelous opportunity for putting pictures on the blog. The picture above is that of me infront of what is known as "Strike Valley". It's a valley made from a fault line that visibly runs down its center from almost mid-Utah to Lake Powell, it is pretty impressive.
During our stay in Capital Reef we had many opportunities to clamber up on top of precarious yet breath-taking perches. This Picture is of my cousin Kevin, he arguably was the most thrilled by the chance to put his rock climbing skills to the test. He is seen above on top of a particularly large rock formation at "Gorilla Rock" just a few minutes from where we stayed.
We did a lot of hiking and the mothers of the two families were able to snap a lot of photos. Here is one of our family, missing of course the Lambert and Chandler branches,
I really enjoyed the Trip, it gave me the chance to get away for the weekend, enjoy nature a bit, get myself stuck in some weird positions, and just have fun. I really enjoyed my time with Kevin on the trip. I was able to follow his adventurous lead in trying to climb up every rock, or get to the back of every slot canyon we came to. As he says "its amazing how many people don't know what Utah has to offer." Amen Kevin .... Amen!
