Ride on the Temple Quarry

This last weekend Molly and I went for a ride up the Temple Quarry trail in Little Cottonwood Canyon. We went with Molly's little sister Suzy and her beau Brannon. Also we had the pleasure of riding with our other friends Tiff, Amy and Stacey. As you can see from the pictures it was a lot of fun. Only Amy had a spill as you can see from the pictures.

The Tour de Four!

The mighty feat of conquering the four canyons has been put to bed one more year. Yesterday Jeff Cole and I rode up and down Little Cottonwood, Big Cottonwood, Millcreek and Emigration Canyons. We started at my house at 7:30 in the morning and I ended up at my parents house at 4:30 that afternoon after riding 104 miles and climbing 11,650 feet. Jeff of course was feeling better than I so he continued on back to his house finishing the loop. Next year we want to do it in the spring time and do it faster. This year it took me 7 1/2 hours to do 104 miles. Next year . . . we will see.

Molly finished a Marathon!

Well, well, well. You won't believe it but Molly has run a Marathon! September 23rd will go down in history as the day that Molly can finally check off a marathon on her list of thinkgs to do. We woke up late in the morning and headed for Utah Lake. Molly ran from near Saratoga Springs to Goshen. 26.2 miles later and about 50 on my bike she was done. I would ride along side as well as leave for awhile to get a few miles in on the bike. She was a trooper that day and impressed me. Thanks for showing us that anything is possible Molly!

Snow in the Hills!

I can't believe how early the snow has come to the hills this year. If it keeps this up we will be skiing by Halloween. I just wanted to put up a few pics of the SNOW!

Fishing with the boys!

My father Kai and my brother Braden and I went camping over Labor Day. We went to Paradise Park in the Uintah's. The Reservoir was very low but the fishing was still hot. We had fresh cooked fish to eat every night and fires that raged. At one lake we went to fish for the elusive jumper that was never caught we heard something large in the trees braking branches. Kai thought it was a moose, but I know better, it was a bigfoot.

We all decided however that we all need to go camping and fishing more often.

I saw a bear!

I always thought that bears were figment of the imagination, but I saw one. That is right, after 32 years on this earth I finally saw a bear. And not just one but two. A mother black bear and her cub were about 40 feet up a pine tree eating pine cones. They looked as comfortable as a couple of monkeys in that tree. It was so incredibly cool. Molly and I were on our way to Surprise and Amphitheater Lake in Teton National Park when about 2.5 miles in there they were.

While in Jackson Hole we also did a little white water rafting and camping. As always it was beautiful and awesome.

Wright Family Reunion

Well well well . . . another summer is almost over and alas it has gone too quickly once again. The Wright's converged this summer at Bear Lake for the family reunion. We all had fun cooking on the fire, swimming, water skiing going to Minnetonka Cave and of course surviving the horrendous winds that toppled a few tents. We hope that you enjoy the few pics from the event.

4th of July Celebration!

This last week we were at my parents house celebrating the 4th of July. There was a great BBQ and then the fun with the fireworks began. As always we had to run through the fireworks as you can see by the pictures. We hope that you find as much joy in viewing the photos as we had making them.

Jackson Hole

Molly and I went to Jackson Hole for the 4th of July weekend. We went with three of her brothers (Brian, Bart and Brad) and met up with her sister Suzy and her boyfriend Brannon. We stayed at the Boy Scout adventure base where Suzy, Brannon and her niece Heather work. We had a grand time running the river, biking, hiking, swimming, cliff jumping and visiting the Tetons and Yellowstone. Enjoy the bounteous pictures.
