Geocaching in Alpine

My dad came up for a visit the other week to spend some time before I ship myself off to the Orient. It was fun having him here enjoying our mild Utah winter. On this day, we were out in the Alpine City Trails area doing some geocaching.I'm pretty sure that knit beanie belonged to my great-grandmother. Love you dad!

Race T-Shirt Quilt

I've got well over 100 race shirts. Most of them hang, lonely and forlorn, in my closet. I'm now giving them a second life in the form of a race t-shirt quilt. I've chosen to make it the way our pioneer ancestors did, by hand. One stitch at a time. It's a long process, but surprisingly therapeutic. Plus, it helps me feel somewhat productive while I'm watching TV.

Park City Snowshoe Stomp 5K

I had a lot of fun over the weekend at the Park City Snowshoe Stomp 5K, even if there wasn't enough snow to warrant it's namesake's footwear. I had brought my Yak-Trax, but left them in the car and went with just trail shoes. Mostly locals turning out for this chilly race to benefit The Road Home.

The Rail Trail in the distance behind us

As unlikely as it sounds, I came in first place and received a nice medal. Terrific post race snacks aplenty too. Thanks for putting on a terrific race.

The race director made me do a #1 sign for the camera
