We're signed up for another river trip this year. We and a group of our friends submit permit applications each year for various rivers and dates and if we're lucky one or more of us literally wins the lottery and gets one. This year Tony pulled a Cataract permit. This is the last stretch of the Colorado River before it gets to Lake Powell, and it flows through Canyonlands National Park. This is also the very same stretch of river (and a similar mix of folks) that Pop joined us for last year. Brandon and I immediately signed up to come along and we managed to also secure one of the coveted spots for Pop. Unfortunately (or fortunately from her perspective) there weren't any additional spots for Mom. Someday maybe Brandon and I will pull our own permit and we'll be able to invite anyone we want. I would love to have more of my family experience one of these trips! The trip is at the end of June and it sounds like Mom is going to try and drive out here with Pop, stay at our place and dogsit for us while we're gone, then drive down to Loa to meet us at a friend's house for 4th of July festivities before hitting the road back home.
In other news I've been "training" for the Ogden Marathon relay. NO - not the whole marathon, just a 6-mile part of it. Its on May 19th and I'm running on a 4-woman team. I know what you're thinking. I'm nuts. You're right.
