My deepest sympathy goes out to all those who don't make their home in Logan Utah. There are few places that offer as much in the way of the outdoors as here. This past weekend we spent out time at Bear Lake about an hour away. It is a rather large body of water which was filled with us and a waverunner and my daughters screaming at the top of their lungs, "go faster daddy."
On the way back we drove up to Tony's Grove. It is a small lake in the top of the mountains. The narrow windy road looks like something out of the Tour De France and is a favorite for roadies especially for time trials.
This morning on my way into work (on my bike) we took a detour and road the river trail up the canyon. It is a fun little mtb trail that follows the Logan River. It is also about 3 minutes from my office.
For all those who sit in their cars burning the remains of long gone vegetation and dinosaurs my deepest sympathy.

Yeah we just took our little boy to Bear Lake a week and a half ago. It’s just like being on the beach at Florida, without the waves.
Bear Lake is like the beach at Florida, provided it’s December in Florida.
I happened to the group for this ‘detour’ this morning, but I missed all the scenery. I was too busy huffing, puffing, and wheezing. When I could gather the strength to lift my weary head, it was only to peer through the trees hoping to spot the back of a red jersey. Usually I just saw green.
But it was indeed a fantastic ride. Clean air, canyon walls that rise out of nowhere, sparkling water, fishermen waving around sharp pointed hooks. Ok, that last one could maybe be left off the list.
Very fun.
