What should have been a nice little hike turned into an ordeal.  4.7 miles in I realized I had lost my camera--had to back track 1.25 miles up the trail until I found it.  And by that time the joy of the hike had been lost.  Got my feet wet in a couple stream crossings--which I enjoyed.  The water in my water bottle tasted soapy--which I didn't enjoy.  I hope the water coming out of the Grove Creek Spring is safe to drink...  Had a Pepsi when I got home and it's never tasted soooooooooo good!

Every time I see that you venture out into the wilderness, it makes me want to explore some trails around here more and more. I need to get off my butt and do it. I've lived in the Ogden area for nearly ten years and have only done one trail run up at Snow Basin.

Nice job.

A cold Dr. Pepper at the end of the Boston Marathon was the best think that happened all week!

I am happy you found your camera!

Smooth, I don't know that I 'enjoyed' the unexpected, but I sure was grateful to find the camera smack dab in the middle of the trail just waiting for me to come back for it... Phew!

Dale, I've lived in this area for 40+ years and it has only been the last couple that I've ventured off the old stand-by trails and routes. I've got so much more exploring to do around here! And anybody willing to join me is more than welcome!

Kathie, nothing, with the exception of maybe a nice juicy burger, hits the spot after a run or a race quite like a Pepsi. The Dr. Pepper must be it for you.
