End of semester vacation

The day after my finals i headed down to salt lake with tiffany and granite (on my lap the whole way). we went running the next morning and met up with jo (who had been visiting family in utah) to go climbing at american fork canyon. later that day me and marcus left early for Moab to go raft/kayak Westwater. Granite played with another dog at the neighbors house, i think she would have been miserable in the rain and careening raft. The rapids were pretty awesome, the other girl in my boat hid easter eggs in the raft for us, mmm chocalate! We met up with tiffany, jeremy, bruce, stevo, jake, and dorry to bike porcupine rim. it was so fun! granite kept up the whole way like a champ, and i hit some good jumps. later that day mary and sven met us. We went climbing at wall street the next day. We also slacklined at the park, napped at the park, and biked Soveirgn Trail. Riding back on this trail, i took one hard crash (which is pretty good for me). i was climbing up some rocks and i started to tip but i couldn't get out my clip pedals because they had too much sand in them, so i slammed down on my left elbow and forearm, which swelled up later, it felt great, but the biggest bummer was that i had broken half of my brake handle off. Despite that it was a really good trip.

The two bike racks were not quite big enough, but we managed with a couple bungy cords and sneaker slippers
