... day progressed, however, we found ourselves looking up into the horizon and seeing a black-blue wall of a Utah desert flash flood coming up on us rather quickly. We ran back to the cars amid the rain/hail which continued into the night, yet Apples, Andres, and Elisa managed to get a raging fire going, so we weren't entirely freezing until we got into the tents.<br>We'll save the rest for the next entry!

... don't know. Anyway we hiked two miles and came to this big waterfall. Which we couldn't see anyway, because it was night. We had gone more on the side of the mountain and not up, and too far from where I'd seen the people with headlamps up on the mountain. We realized this couldn't be right. <br><br>We hiked back to the parking lot, another two miles. That's when we found the other trailhead. I said let's make sure we do it right this time and ...

... note for "DOMENY". It said our room number and "Please us eonly one bed since you booked for one queen." The room had two doubles. Weird.<br><br>The trip TO Utah was cool, though. We drove through the Mojave desert. We drove down the Vegas Strip and decided we don't need to return. We crossed the borders of 4 states.<br><br>It begins.

... and outlet shopping. By the time we arrived at the inn in Beaver, it was already past 9 PM MST (8 PM PST). I was able to read more than 100 pages of "Eclipse" for the first day, which indicated that I will complete this during the middle of the trip! <br><br>Hmm...so the majority of today involved driving, DRIVING, and more driving. How fun. At least taking a swim in an indoor pool balanced sitting around for several hours! Tomorrow is where the real fun begins.

the 75 miles from Provo to Price are very beautiful I would imagine on a nicer day with better road conditions. Hwy 6 is under construction most of the way. We got up early to try to aviod some of the traffic. That ment 5am breakfast and 6:15 on the road. Unlike Florida the wind is up early and we had to go through a canyon that has a wind farm in it and of course the ...

So i went and rode ATV's in the sand dunes of Utah, a place called little sahara, about an hour and a half from salt lake or so, professionals go here, and this was my first time going to go ride in sand... it was crazy!! had a blast though, and i did well for my first time, at least i think so... I edited and made a cool movie out of the video's i took, so enjoy the videos and photos!

I would like to state that I am open to recommendations for my preperation. Thus far, as I am a bit out of shape I have gotten a job in a wearhouse and am planning to take a Hike-a-Week. I have quite some time to prepare, but I do not want to be wasting this time.

... freezing but he claimed to not be cold. Bumblebee and I had been feeling some tension between us but once on the bus completely didn't get along anymore. He was sick, so not feeling good combined with barking orders and in general acting like a high holy he was irritating everyone on the bus. He and Jessica would spent what seemed like hours *****ing at each other and getting on everyones nerves. We were looking for free hot ...

... life doing that very thing. How many people do you know that say "I always wanted to do that," then come with some rambling excuse about money or time or whatever else. Excuses don't matter. You can see a Dateline story of him here. I met him when he came to speak at our school. My dad and I took him to Nine Mile Canyon near Price and he gave me a brain coral he got while scuba diving (is that legal? I always wondered) some sunken ...

... they issue you a hiking permit you have to watch their video and hear their warnings about staying off of the cryptobiotic soil. Cryptobiotic soil is a network of very very fragile small plants that live in the sand and help all of the other plants grow in the desert. It takes decades for them to grow just an inch and they are easily destroyed when people walk on them. Devil's Garden was next and we had an enormous amount of fun here. Check out the pictures. The further we went ...
