5-mile morning hike up Casto Canyon- amazing geology. Willpost pics when I get wifi. Mike- was thinkin' of you when we were post-holing inthe 18" deep snow on the way out!

Also, Mike, what the plan at Joshua Tree? Climbed there several times as a young buck. Incredible area!

The only thing missing was a headwind with the climb It sounds like you've got a good spring planned.

Weather kept me inside so it was 60 minutes of elliptical with 300 wallball shots mixed in.

Cardio at the gym for me today, gotta be able to keep the heart rate down when that fat steelhead zings into the backing next week.

25 miles on the bicycle today. Legs were a bit sore after 50 miles on Weds. Only going uphill though.

Keep it up guys. If nothing else, we'll be in decent shape comes the fall hunting season!

300 shots? My goodness!

Oh, you didn't mean drinking. Okay...

Guy

6.5 mile hike in incredible slot canyons in Escalante.

Also, thought I was immune to alcohol last night, drinking Utah IPA. Lots and lots of Utah IPA. Turns out beer is 3.2% in Utah. Just scored a sixer of full strength Anchor Steam. Not kidding, it was like a dope deal! Had to pay cash.

Well you are an expert in all things dope related......

Jeff,

Walking vigorously can be very healthy.

Please do not reverse the good by consuming alcohol. It is sin.

You are smarter than this.

Last few days:

Assault treadmill: 30minutes, 20minutes, 30minutes

Bp, Romanian deadlifts, Squats, Seated rows, Curls, Hammer curls, Overhead press, Seated DB overheads, DB press.

Back was like someone was sticking a knife into my vertebra. Did the RDL and back doesn't hurt anymore. I can't figure it out....

Bunch of banded glute exercises. The Monster walk is really funny if you look at yourself in the mirror.

Smoke is big on working the glutes. So a glute finisher just for him....

Saturday was a driving day. 7-mile hike up into one of my favorite places on the planet in SE Oregon this morning. Quite snowy once we got up towards the top @ 7k feet or so. Was postholing with comical regularity- I guess the ratio of 215 lbs and size 13's leads to that. Cyn was just floating on top of the snow like a cute angel in tights.

Headed home now. Back to the grind. Got weeks of jungle-gym stacked up in front of me.

Mike- the new Subaru acquitted itself very well! Very quiet and smooth on the road, love that, and it handled some fairly gnarly sections of dirt road well. We camped 6/7 of the nights on obscure BLM or NF lands so we were on some sketchy roads (for a nice new SUV, my truck would've eaten them up). We only scraped undercarriage once and only almost got stuck once.

This was up top today. By my estimation that there is a huuuuge juniper! I got some great pics in Utah I'll sort through and post up. The slot canyon in particular.

Navigating the gun laws was weird. All states we hit were open-carry, so that was nice, but for instance in Utah you have to have empty-chamber. Then there's transporting in cars. Glad to be back where my CCW is valid. Reciprocity cannot come soon enough.

You don't come across as being very bright!

You keep voting for those liberals and you'll never see Reciprocity...........

just got back from Joshua Tree- 3 days/2 nights, great trip- roughly 60 miles, about half of them off trail

Jeff,

That does sound super confusing.

I am glad you made it out of the ordeal without harm or arrest.

Your walks look very fun.

I've only voted for pro-gun candidates the last decade-plus.

Edit: and that will continue. Please, let's not discuss this here though.

But this is the only forum you will visit since the mueller report came out.............

This is a SANCTUARY FORUM. You can't make this stuff up.

That's some good looking country. 60 miles in 3 days is putting in some work.
