I was cruising around the boards, and thought I'd drop by the Utah chapter. Hope I'm not intruding...
I lived out there in Pleasant Grove from age 8 to age 18, and still consider the valley my stomping grounds. Spent a lot of Saturdays at Widowmaker (point of the mountain) watching the hill climbs and hang gliders. Water skied all over Deer Creek, and had my share of Utah Lake enemas. Man, I even rode on the Heber Creeper 4 times on school field trips. Park City, Sundance, hunting in the Uinta's, spending whole summers in Zion and Bryce Canyons. Climbed to the top of Timpanogas more times than I can remember, carrying an inner tube to ride down the glacier on the back side. Played soccer in every friggin town from American Fork to Spanish Fork, and even a few times in Riverton. St. George, Cedar City, Green River, Payson, Provo, Ogden, Logan; I know at least one person in every one of those towns. My favorite family outing was the Sunday trip to the Kennecott Copper Mine... ENOUGH!
That was a long time ago. I was just reminiscing and felt like spilling my guts to the folks that would understand where I was coming from, that's all. Who knows, maybe when my youngest graduates from high school, I'll head on back, find a nice place somewhere, and then take Trenton up on that Roadrunner Ride.
For now, I'm stuck in the cultural concrete melting pot. Just felt like saying hi, and wanted to remind you guys just how good you have it.
