I am taking two days on the other side of the holiday for some R&R in the Bear Lake area. I'll be boating on Tuesday of next week. I have a few plans in the valley so I wont be leaving until Monday to head out of town. Prolly the opposite for most.
Who has plans and where, what, when? :popcorn:
I still haven't nailed down any plans yet....I better get on that :)
early sat morning going to a bike ride, annual 4th ride with the bro in laws, followed by some swimming and a barb-que on sat, some fireworks then sundsy going to take the waverunners out early am and ride for a bit then relax.
Saturday Night We'll be at Rocky Mountain Raceway for the Supermodifed race.

Floating Snake river in Wyoming
Saturday, I'm probably going to go for a 4-wheeler ride/hike in the mountains with my wife and kids. Sunday, BBQ/party with the family. :pitcher: Monday, not sure yet. :ne_nau:
I will be trying to run two water/aid stations in the Provo 5/10k race on Monday morning prior to the parade. Need volunteers. Anyone want to help? Let me know if you do. Free running shirt for your time.
We are headed to Mt Pleasant with friends. I have never been there before. Anyone know of a good place to take a little hike or to do a little fishing with the kids?
Escalante river and Death Hollow!!!
Fairview Canyon. Many lakes to fish up there. BTW, the Home Plate Cafe in Fairview has really good pie ala mode. The little nine hole golf course in Mt. Pleasant is not too bad. Pretty straight forward course if you need to burn a couple of hours.Quote:

I got the kaysville parade with nieces and nephews for the only water parade in Utah.

After that we got a BBQ and sand volleyball at the park and then fireworks of course. Busy day!
I'm gonna DESTROY something!
Then I'm gonna CREATE something!
*lending equal fervor to both endeavors*
I'm gonna climb a 10,000 ft mountain.
Cook at least one notably excellent gourmet meal.
Hang with my kids (& possibly their friends).
Do some housework (getting a good portion of it out of the way 2-night & 2-morrow).
And some "other" stuff.
Try to make time for a visit with ZionSiren - hanging out in the pool spounds FUN! ;)
I'm gonna lay by the pool in my backyard and let my foot heal so I can try weight bearing next week. :mrgreen:
I'll be spending the week of the 4th in Oceanside CA with my family in a cottage on the beach. We'll be kayaking, swimming, boogie-boarding, lounging, BBQing, making a trip to Sea World... keeping the baby from constantly putting sand in his mouth, changing sandy diapers, putting aloe vera onto sunburns...
:cool2:
Trying to find someone to go river boarding with tomorrow... Sunday running a fun 5k that's right by my house, and hopefully grilling something! Not sure about Monday, that whole long-range planning thing.
Yeah, Fairview Canyon is a good bet. If you can make it up to Miller Flat Reservoir, fish right at the inlet. Potter's Ponds are also up in there and good fishing most of the time. A good close place to Mt. Pleasant, if you go a bit further south and up Manti Canyon, is Yearns Reservoir. It's just a little reservoir tucked up in there, but I always seem to catch fish whenever I go and it's a great place for kids to catch fish. If you're there at twilight, the bats come out and swoop over the lake to catch the mosquitoes.Quote:

I was thinking of going to one of the local Lion's Club breakfasts this morning, but I don't know if I'm going to get the wife out of bed.:lol8: We just saw fireworks last Saturday at the Taylorsville celebration, so I don't feel a big need to fight the crowds for that.

awesome, where is that?!
I ended up running in a 5k that's right by my house every 4th of July. Then went riverboarding down Brown's Canyon. *So* much fun! One of these times I'll try to get a pic and post it.
The July 4 celebration in Ada's Wintersmith Park has now been postponed again due to intense tropical rainfall. The City of Ada has moved the activity to July 16.

^^^ Looks very similar to Left Hand here in Moab --- without all the trees, shrubs, bushes and other green things.
BTW, for all those visiting Left Hand be careful and be sure to look b4 you leap. There have been several broken ankles come outta there so far this year - including one so severe it required an emergency helicopter ride to Grand Junction.
