So to finally finish posting what I did last week I'll just finish. So on friday I didn't do much, actually I don't remember what I did. lol. It was that exciting. But Saturday and Sunday were fun, my room mate and I met up in Cedar City to go up to my great grandmas ranch. It felt so nice there! It was about 30 degrees cooler than what I'm living in now in St. George. Probably since we were at an elevation of 9,500 ft. above sea level! But on our hike that was a disadvantage, the altitude was just killing us! Anyways, here's some pictures to give you an idea of what it's like up there and what we do...
There is a spring there with fresh cold water called "cooks springs." And we love to skip rocks as you can see above.
This is my room mate and I with cook springs behind us but we don't get the water out of the pond thing, there's a pipe that is always letting out water that goes into there.
On the property there are tons of volcanoe rocks and we always try to knock big rocks down with smaller ones...smart. Anyways but can you see the rain coming down behind us on some other mountains. Oh and sorry my eyes are messed up, my dad made some comment about my picture obsession for the blog and he happened to take the picture when I gave him the sassy look. lol.
Every year I gotta carve my name in about 5 or 6 trees. I re-write my name and the present year on all those trees and have been doing it for years. It's really fun!
Taking a break from our hike since the altitude was giving us a hard time.
Finally relaxing in one of my dad's hammocks from Brazil. So comfortable!!!
Last but not least, enjoying the sunset out on the ridge.
