the first weekend we again went to st george (we went there in like april for a weekend as well), but this time I knew how to mountain bike so that was our sole purpose of going.
the following week was spent sleeping in, exercising, hiking (with millie), reading, and cooking while jake went to school. yes i do admit i read 5 books during that time, 3 of them being the hunger games books. (i thought the first was pretty good but i was thoroughly disappointed by the others).
then on thursday off to oregon we went. the first time for both of us, and unlike the hunger games books i was not disappointed one bit.
the drive was totally worth it. because we got to listen to harry potter. and see this. and go mountain biking on the #1 trail in the nation. riding on the 26.5 miles, crossing 15 bridges, passing 3 waterfalls, crystal blue pool, 4 lakes, and lava rocks covered in a thick layer of moss got me to decide we were either in endor or fangorn forest. because of my limited star wars knowledge and my greater than average lotr knowledge i couldn't decide if i was going to see ewoks poking their heads behind the trees or seeing the trees walk around. but it was definitely one of the two.
i still don't understand how a pool can be this blue.
or how a roaring river could be flowing away from it.
or how a roaring river could be flowing away from it.
who knew a bike seat could fall off? good thing we had this toilet paper to fashion a new one.
too bad we still had 2 hours left of riding.
so after seeing it what's your vote?
or Lord of the Rings in Fangorn Forest?

ooooooh my gosh, guess what? for our work group costumes, my co-worker, julie, and i talked a few teams in my department into dressing up as lord of the rings for halloween. we have about 25 people, and it's going to be amazing. julie and i are going to be uruk-hai.
