Succesfully bike all the way to the top of Ben Lomond Peak from North Fork and make it back down with out falling off my bike.
Take the kids camping at least 4 times this summer, and go on several hikes with them. Haven't exactly decided yet where, leave that to the moment.
And make a trip to property we have in Duchesne. Been a long time since I have camped down there. It is time to go!Chere'

mtnman: Sounds like a great list of objectives. Mine aren't nearly as exhausting (IMHO). I hope to accomplish at least a subset of:
- ATV/Camp from Monroe to Otter Creek Reservoir
- ATV/Camp (again) from Fillmore to Richfield
- Hike and camp atop Lone Peak Wilderness
- Summit Lewiston Peak and walk that entire ridge line
- Participate in at least 3 x 5K races (ankle and old body willing)
- Get in at least 2-3 more free fall sky dives
- Get in some king salmon fishing in either WA state or AK.

Ride my mountain bike as much as I can and take my kids and wife hiking more. I'm also going to get a new camera and do as much shooting as I possibly can.
Wouldn't mind having some more free time too.
blueeyes, maybe I'll meet up with you for that ride to Ben Lomond. I want to do a big loop from Brigham to Mantua to Liberty to Ben Lomond to Willard Basin to Perry to Brigham. Should hurt a lot, but it's totally worth it.

Last summer, I rode from my house in Brigham to inspiration point and back down Perry Canyon and back to Brigham. It took my brother-in-law and I just over 6 hours (riding time) to do it. I'm thinking that the bigger loop would take 2 or 3 hours more than that. I wouldn't try it as a first time real long ride, but you could definately do portions of it. Last summer I took Last Child on part of the route that I want to do. He made a video of it and posted it on here somewhere. If you are going to ride to Ben Lomond (well, some of it anyway, it's really steep) I could definately plan to meet you at the trailhead there.

- As many Zion/Escalante/North Wash canyons as I can do from April 25 - May 3.
- Finally hit some local (Vancouver area) canyons this summer.
- Do my best to get out for weekly hikes (and short overnighters) this summer.
- I have 11 days off in August. The whole family is making no plans for it and waiting for a last minute deal - we're saving up, and hoping to hit London and Paris, or some other European destination.
- I hope to get most of October off, and hit southern Utah again. Probably a couple of longer backpacks this time.
- I'm totally committing to making FreezeFest this year. Haven't managed to get all the time off, yet, and it might be tough to convince people to work New Years Eve and Day for me - but I'm working on it!
- Get the kids to a) some concerts, and b) some camping. They both want to do more hiking this year, too.
- Lose the 10 pounds I regained this winter, and lose 10 more after that.
