Backpacking:
June 22-23

Michael, Michelle, Bryan, Lacey, Dan and I all decided that we needed to go on a backpacking adventure. So we packed up our bags and headed out. We were dropped off at Tony Grove around 6:30 pm and we started our adventure. We had walked a few miles when we lost the trail, the sun setting and we had to get over the peak of Mt. Naomi, so we just headed straight up. At times we were on our hands hoping we wouldn't fall because if we did it would be a huge fall. It was such an amazing view and I was having such a blast. It soon got dark and we still hadn't found the trail so we just went straight down the hill, it was super steep and we couldn't really see much (which is a good thing....it was pretty intense). Finally we made it to the bottom of the mountain and decided to get some sleep. It was 10:30pm by then and we had only gotten half way so we just found the flattest place we could and pulled out our sleeping bags....it was really rocky. The next day we headed out for the last half. We went up one peak and then down, over and over. We ended at the mouth of Cherry Creek Trail in Richmond (about 15 miles from Logan).Thankfully we hitched a ride to a bus stop. Overall we went about 12 miles and boy did we feel it. It was so much fun I am thinking I might have to just grab a backpack and live out of it for the next month ;)
