Short Hike in Millcreek Canyon

Susan and I took Sunny and her friend Ruby on a short hike in Millcreek canyon last weekend. The weather is finally starting to cool off and we are getting a taste of fall.

American Fork Canyon

I headed to American Fork Canyon by Provo on sunday. It was a super nice day and I did one of favorite loops. The bottom pic is of Mt. Timpanogos which I hiked a couple of years ago. I didn't see any other bikers the whole time, gotta love sunday in Utah.

Flaming Gorge

We headed up to Flaming Gorge for fishing trip this past weekend. For those of you don't know Flaming Gorge is a reservoir on the Utah/Wyoming border and is very large meandering lake with lots of high canyon walls and narrow channels. We had great weather and it was fun to explore and fish and we did catch quite a few trout and smallmouth bass.

Susan and I went to New Hampshire for Stacey and Justin's wedding this past weekend. They are friends of ours that moved from Salt Lake a couple of years ago to Boston. After a red eye flight through Newark into Manchester we had lunch with some old family friends of Susans in Manchester on friday. Then it was off to Justin's parents farm near Lee, NH.

The wedding festivities took place on the farm and it was a blast. There was a cookout on friday night and a lot of us just camped on the farm right down the hill from the polo field where the reception tent was set up.

The wedding itself was at a Quaker church 3 miles from the farm, afterwards a good number of us rode bikes (including the bride and groom) to the farm for the reception. The reception was good, great food, a live bluegrass band, plenty of dancing as well some bike races on the grass (Billy's idea). The next morning they had a nice breakfast set up and Justin's dad took a few of us on a hayride tour of the farm. It is a fascinating place of around 250 acres, one of the highlights was a barn that was constructed in the 1830s.

Sunday was our anniversary so Susan and I headed up to the Maine coast for some sightseeing and an early dinner. Sunday night we stayed with Billy and Katie, who live right by Kennebunkport. Then next morning Billy and Katie took me biking on some of the local trails and then it was back to the airport.
