Killing time (drinking beer) at the Springdale city park.


Since we got rousted out of bed behind the PN we went to the park Sunday morning to have this yard sale. Cleaning out the Jeep and drying out stinky gear. We even had time to grill up some bratwurst for breakfast.

Prep for Pine Creek with Jaxx and his group. Sorry, don't remember everyones names.

[Felicia]

You guys were a hoot!! Can't wait to meet you in a canyon again.

Hey Don, What did you think about that last rap in Pinecreek? I remember you asking me about it and then I kinda freaked you out. HAHA!! I see you survived it just like I did.

Didn't freak me out nearly as much as I thought it would. Our improvisation rap into Das Boot was more awkward and took me awhile to start.

You two crack me up - great photos and fun videos!

It was fun and you guys are funny dudes. I loved the kiddie jump into the narrow hole on pine creek. You made me laugh when you had to coax yourself to jump eight feet into the water but you rapped the 100' on pine creek no prob. I am glad you guys came with on Sunday and it was good to meet you. By the way our names were ; Chad(me), Emily(my wife), jaxx(Nick), canyon girl(jaxx's wife, aka Steph), Tyson and Emma. I hope we can catch up sometime this summer and do some sport climbing up AF or something. Peace

That's a great trip report, Don. You guys were great to hang out with at the PN. Randi mentioned it earlier but the "evil twins" is a funny story! Looks to me like you two had as good a time as anyone.

Great post! I enjoyed the video with the anticipation of jumping. It seems like everyone had a great time this weekend.



Was Jaxx at the Pizza Noodle? I was looking forward to meeting him this weekend and don't believe I did.

I heard bolts have reapeared in Yankee at the first rap. Juding from this pic it looks like they have.

We were there but we were a little late to dinner.

Don and Josh are AWESOME. It was fun going through the canyon with you two. Hope we can meet up again.

Ya he was sitting on the other end of the table.


Jaxx is in the red shirt

Sorry Jaxx. I took off early and drove home that night because of my ankle. I would have liked to have met you.

I can see and analyze the anchor and it seems easier to wrap my mind around the safe use of that. I understand the same principal applies to jumping into a pool but I just can
