This past Monday & Tuesday a couple of friends and I
decided we needed to get away for a couple of days so we
went on a camping trip to Natural Bridges National
Monument. It was overcast & raining when we left town
It was raining a little when we arrived, but we decided
to hike the 5 miles between Sipapu Bridge &
Kachina Bridge anyways. Shortly into the hike the rain
stopped. As soon as we got back to the car it started raining.
It worked out beautifully. On Tuesday we hiked 10 miles
in Bullet Canyon in Cedar Mesa. Our plan was to hike to
the Perfect Kiva & Jailhouse ruins, but we got turned
around on the map and stopped about half a mile short
of the ruins. We decided we did it intentionally so we
have an excuse to go back. Here are a few pics from
the trip.
Bret & I checking out the Horse Collar ruins.
Brady contemplating the troubles of three guys in the wilderness.
Bret & I traversing a 30ft. ice filled shute in Bullet Canyon.
Me climbing down the wall.
In our camp the fire-box had been broken off the pole it should have been on.
Brady & I did not have a trouble traversing around the pole while we stayed
at the camp. Bret on the hand...well you see how well he did.
Hopefully this the first of many adventures we will exprience together. I will let youknow how our future expeditions turn out.

I can't believe how much you blog! Wasn't it you who told me "blogs are for girls."? Just kidding. I think it's awesome. It sounds like a fun trip. Hey, I know someone else who likes to hike, likes to camp out, and while she isn't a guy, she used to be considered "one of the guys" once apon a time. She also lives somewhere that you haven't done a lot of hiking, so she could possibly show you some new sights. Also, you totally snubbed her the last time you had plans, and totally acted like a not nice person,and hurt her feelings a little (Because she really ISN'T a guy, so that happens sometimes) so you kinda owe her one. If you can think of someone like that, you should call her because she misses you, and she could never get ahold of you the last few times she tried to call you.:)
PS, It's ME!!! (just because sometimes you miss my subtle clues)
