Rain, Rain, Rain

We have had a TON of rain over the past few weeks.  Yesterday was supposed to be beautiful with a 0% chance of rain, but within a matter of minutes a big storm rolled in and caused us to have to hunker down in a tiny cave.  Keith this area might look familiar to you?  This is the entrance to a slot canyon called the Black Corridor and there isn't usually any water here.  It was really neat to see the flash flooding (from a safe distance of course!).  I don't think I've ever been out there when things were fully raging like this.  It pretty much torrentially downpoured for about an hour.  

Not exactly the most flattering picture of us, but here we are trying to stay dry under the little overhang.  A colleague of Mandy's from China was out with us and this was her first experience in the Nevada dessert.  It wasn't exactly what she expected :)

Adam has 2 new blog posts

For some reason blogger isn't showing when Adam posts a new blog in the "Blog Feed".  So if you haven't seen the last installment of our honeymoon adventures, or what is the latest fashion on the north slope, check them out.

This weekend I took a little trip to Crawdad Canyon in Veyo, UT.  This awesome climbing park is set amongst cinder cones, wildflowers, streams, and vast open basins.  In my opinion it's in one of the most beautiful areas of the west.  Adam and I always say that the Mormons sure did choose well when they chose to settle mostly in Utah.  I didn't take any pictures while climbing but you can check out the park here.  It's a moderate climbers paradise and also has a POOL (which on this holiday weekend was filled with a billion kids but is usually really nice for an after-climb soak).  Hope everyone had a great weekend!
