Bogley.com - 5 Year Birthday

Tomorrow is the 5 year anniversary of this place. What memories do you have or have you made using Bogley? I have had a blast planning trips, meeting new people and exploring new places. This site started out with myself emailing Sombeech and rockgremlin and telling them to sign-up for this outdoor website that I had made.

From the beginning it was about staying in touch with friends and planning adventures in the outdoors. Well, things really haven't changed much in 5 years. Here is the 8th post ever started on bogley talking about Kings peak (notice the dates) with the good ole boys...memories.

Happy Birthday Bogley!

I have only been around the last 15 months, but in those past 15 months I have been inspired to spend more time outside then I ever have before.

Seeing all of the TR makes me want to plan my own trips instead of sitting on the side lines watching everyone else have fun. Having a place to share my adventures makes it even more enjoyable.

I have met some of the coolest down to earth people from this site. I have skied, snowshoed, hiked, biked, camped and ate sushi with them.

I have been introduced to canyoneering and can't wait for my next adventure through a canyon.

I have had one of the best years of my life! and I owe a good part of that to Bogley.

So thanks to those of you who share your knowledge of nearby bike trails, favorite camping spots and in general your opinions on life!

I discovered Bogley while trying to find out more about the Swell. Aside from my family website Bogley is the only forum to ever keep me. So many great people with so many cool things to share. I have really appreciated the "Private Messages". Sometimes you are planning a trip and someone will PM you their secret spot they don't want to share, or other times PM you a kind word, share something personal, or really just build friendships. There are probably 15 or 20 people on this site that I think to myself "I love that guy (or person)" about 90% of the time after I read something they posted.

And although I don't see too much of her lately on Bogley (and she has moved), I thought I'd point out that I felt like Tanya was the first person to be nice to me and make me feel welcome.

UUTAH is how I remember it and my thought provoking conversations with the Rev :roflol:

Beech sucked me in :haha:

I miss Rev. That guy is\was awesome!

A while back the forum I used to frequent very often got blocked at work. To fill this lengthy gap in my 9-5 schedule I started looking for a forum that would be interesting and fun and not blacklisted by our IT department. I found one that was not blacklisted - Bogley!

:five:

Somebody PMed me from Yahoo Canyons group and told me about UUtah.com. I guess that was about 2005 or so. Man, I feel old.

I don't like Bogley. In fact, I hate them, I hate everything about them. I hate their forum. I hate their members, I hate everything.... They poured beer on my wife.... I hate them...

Show some class :haha:

I think the first time I went to the website was because Sombeach posted on utahmountainbiking.com and I clicked on his link to uutah. Don't remember when that was, a good while ago. While I don't post a ton, I do go to the website almost daily, one of the few I 'haunt'. I've enjoyed keeping up with you young'uns on the mtn. bike rides. Good job guys!

Bogley - the unholy lovechild of Acca and Beech. Happy 5th.

:roflol: :roflol: :utes7: :roflol: :roflol:

I do admit, as an Internet Noob not knowing about "web ethics".... I spammed a lot of other forums back in the day. I do not practice those same cheap techniques today.


.... or at least under my primary identity. :haha:

I first was searching for more information about Fifth Water Hot Springs which I heard from friends back on '02 or '03 and consequently, that led me to Shane's website Climb-Utah (and has single-handedly been the most influential website in my life) and got me started Canyoneering in '03 and then did some research on my own about it, which led to Kelsey's books. Then, I wanted to know if there was a Utah forum online so I could ask questions and look for more info, and then was referred to uutah.com.

wow, that's a long time ago.

Hmmmmm.........I came across it when I Googled "Hottest men in Utah" :ne_nau:

March 2006, I'd been to Utah once, and was planning on returning in a couple of months. Was looking for info on where to go. Got great advice from Scott Patterson and stefan. Just kept coming back...

OK.

Yes. :nod:

Oct. 4th 2005 - :2thumbs: Fourtycal got me started on here and I got hooked right soon :nod: I think he and I got the first UUTAH hats going down in Vegas during INTERBIKE. I still have both of mine :nod:
HEY - maybe we need a new hat/shirt to comemorate this monentous event!

12/8/05. Beech was doing some recruiting from UtahMountainBiking...got a personal message there to come check out UUTAH. Thought it was really a great sight as I was new to SLC. Have gotten away from regular posting and debate (particularly on my beloved Political forum!!), but like TallSteve, I look through almost daily to see what's up, and I recommend the sight to people all the time.

Thanks for the job well done, guys!!

Five years. My, they grow so fast!

Richard led me here from a Yahoo "Canyonlands" group which is now defunct, I think.

I was thinking today how I'dnot visited Booglie in way too long. Been real busy with all kinds of good things, including a move to the mountains of West Virginia. A much better place.

Utah fulltime is still a few years out, but WV provided us a nicer home for the time than the nasty little town we lived in back in VA. That place made me mean... like no one here knew that!

Love to all.

Happy Birthday Bogley! I joined in Feb 2008????

Memories include:
Bogleyfest Zion 2008

Meeting up with Chere, Beech and Maciej for drinks and rock n roll

Sushi with everyone and fun snowshoeing for Winterfest 09

Lots of visits and lunches with Santa when he comes through town

Moab Bogleyfest 09 and all the fabulous people that made it happen!
watching Don bike ride naked around the campsite was classic!

sitting around a campfire with Don, drinking beer, shooting the shit in Moab over Labor Day.

And of course my favorite..........dancing and singing and drinking Copper Camels at a jazz club with Chere, Don and GHB......Solid Gold don't ya know!


Yup Happy Birthday and thanks for making those memories for me!!!

:rockon:

Happy Birthday Bogley!

I still feel like a noob here since it hasn't even been a full year. Two words for Bogley: informational & inspirational.

Found it because I was going to the Maze and being new to four-wheeling I was searching for beta on the roads. When I found that the site was full of happy crazy outdoor adventurers of all kinds I was hooked!

My only face-time memories so far are from Bogley Fest '09 at Zion. Best single memory: taking turns taking pictures in the "beam me up" spot in Pine Creek.

I sure hope to have more this year...

Happy B-day, Bogley! I've always loved this site for the great info here, and great people. I want to be a Lifetime Big Shot someday. :haha: Is there some kind of payment plan? I can't sneak out that kind of money, and the better half--well I explained her frugality in the thread I started on where to eat for our anniversary.

Anyway, kudos to those involved in setting this up.
