Enjoyed the state holiday this past weekend by visiting our good neighbors Bruce and Jane at their cabin. Spent the day relaxing, taking little ATV excursions, spotting and observing the wildlife and even did a little fishing.
Tragically, we also experienced the link to the following news story.
ksl.com - Man killed in ATV crash in Summit County
Our prayers and thoughts go out to the family and the man's son who was riding with his father at the time of the incident.
Our day was nearly perfect otherwise. Who could complain about see not one, nor two but in fact five different moose enjoying the afternoon also. Even saw a calf with it's mother. An awesome sight indeed. Sorry no pictures somebody left the camera in the backpack at the cabin.
Even did a little fishing or tried on the trip. Bruce tried out his skills on the pond and I quickly grabbed my fly rod and reel. Of course I wanted to try out my new 4X rod and new Lamson reel. Hm... how does the reel attach to the rod? Oh, you have to grab all of the reel and not just the 4X spool. Yup, there I was a great PDM hatch happening in front of my eyes and the trout were dining.
Oh well, how could I let a little oops ruin the whole day. I got as much fun watching Bruce and the rest of the kids fish with powerbait and no hits.
Had to even laugh as my wife ridiculed me and recounted the story to our friends of how I scarred my children with my fear of heights on a family trip to Arches and the hike to Delicate Arch. Hmm...I wonder if she saw this article that published this weekend in the news. I told you so!

We hated to the day end as we conclude our little adventure of relaxation and fun. Thanks Bruce and Jane for a great time.
