Farwell to Summer


Hey, It's me, Devin. Summer is official over and my nose is back in the books all day, again. I decided I wanted to do one last hurrah for summer. So, My Cousin Shane and I climbed Mt. Nebo. It's the tallest mountian on the wasatch front, standing at 11,928 ft. The hike was short (5 miles one-way), but steep. The picture above is the second to last ascent and the one below is the final ascent. During the final ascent, the trail disappeared and we had to scramble up boulders.
We did it! Check out the beautiful view. There was a cool hiker's log at the top that everybody wrote in. The best entry went something like this: "I rode a cattle bare back all the way to the top. Then I chucked it off the ridge and ate beef jerky."

Joslyn went the huge '912 Project' rally in South Jordan. It was part of large rallies around the nation. In D.C., they had almost 80,000 gathered. The rally largely focused on unifying together to remove the corruption from the government. If you want a real report on it, you'll have to talk to Joslyn. She's become quite politically active lately.
