Zions+Camping=Oh my gosh I actually liked it.

I live in a great neighborhood. Its the kind of place where you don't get judged if you don't drive the right car or like to throw outrageous parties that last until 8:30 (bedtime). I love my neighbors so much that we decided to go camping with them. Some people reading this will think that the last statement is a no biggie but I don't usually camp and I most definitely DON'T hike. In fact the last hike I went on was in 1995 when Jeff took me on a stage 4 hike where I almost killed my brother (on accident) and Jeff (on purpose)...

That's me hiking in the bottom left corner

 These kids were awesome. I like the smiles they showed us after getting to the Emerald pools in 100 degree weather.

As a lad Jeff would spend entire vacations at his family cabin making small streams and rivers...Guess what Gilly started doing right away? 

One of my favorite pictures. I can see his dad in his face and actions so much. I hope that he turns out just like him (in other words I hope I haven't ruined him a little).

Here we all are after a great hike.....

And here we are at the Weeping Wall (which is different from the Wailing Wall. I wondered why I didn't see any Jews which was the only reason I walked up that hill. I love Jews). 

What you people are missing here is the picture of me hiking the narrows. If you don't know what the narrows are you either just came out of a coma that started in the late 1980's or your just not hiker savvy like myself. It is a semi-narrow canyon/river that you walk up. In the map guide it is marked "strenuous". That didn't scare me off suckas! I did it! I hiked in ice cold water that went up to my boobie line! I was feeling like an extreme sportsman and was fantasizing about my next adventure of skydiving or paragliding. Then I looked over at my hiking buddy who was by my side the entire time. He is 3.
