A new year in Logan presents the challenge of finding new things to entertain yourself with. When the most hoppin' place in town is the University, you can imagine the difficulty of spawning new ideas...such is my predicament.
For the moment.
This past weekend was a welcome respite from school, boredom, and agoraphobia (we mostly lock ourselves inside our apartment when not at school). My outdoorsy roommate Skadi suggested a hike on Saturday, and thus a new adventure started:
Wind Caves
Whatever happened to Wind Caves 1.0? Well let's just say that I was halfway there when I suddenly experienced prairie dogging* of the worst kind. I blame the two bowls of Honeycomb I had that morning.
As it turns out, this time was indigestion-free and we all (Skadi, Leslie, Brandon, and myself) made it to the caves with time to spare.
View from the caves. About 10:30 a.m.
Within the cave. The first one was more of an arch than a cave.
My best victory pose. Yes, I know that my hiking fashion leaves a lot to be desired.
Skadi and Leslie as Rafiki and Simba. This was actually a huge outcropping, hence the nickname we gave it: Pride Rock.
Zoomed out view of the caves.
On the way back we took the "scary" trail which involved overgrown paths, cliffs, and really steep declines. It was awesome!
The trees were all turning crazy shades of red and yellow.
Leaves on fire!
Walking back to the car.
The view was amazing; the pictures don't do it justice.
