Snowshoeing with Goats

Mountain Goats
Big Cottonwood Canyon
After snowshoeing I came across these guys by the road. The past few storms must have driven them to lower altitude. Interesting to watch them negotiate the slippery rocks.

Hot Springs near Utah Lake

Bad Chinese Resturant

I should have know when we were charged as soon as we walked through the door. Second clue was the Mexican hot sauce on every table.

We also discovered a new Chinese Buffet culinary "un-delight", 5 day old dumplings. Nearly had to wrestle with other patrons to gain access to the fresh crab legs.

Even the fortune cookies were bad.


Happy anniversary honey.

Owl Prowl

We hiked up towards Doughnut Falls in Big Cottonwood Canyon under a shrouded full moon, with our snowshoes and fresh snow falling. Heard the the Northern Saw-Whet Owl in the distance.

second trip: solo towards desolation lake
