Nine mile hike, as easy as falling off a log (bridge)

Took the people on a nine mile hike yesterday at South Cottonwood Trail. Still nice and green. We got out there super early and had the trail to ourselves for about four hours. There were log bridges that I was not too fond of, especially since I fell off the first one, and got completely soaked. After that, I was able to run across them full speed with lots of confidence. After the hike, everybody took naps, so it was a good day for all. Here's some photos. Keep in mind it was 73° the whole time. Ah, summer has arrived. Too bad winter is coming soon. The man ordered firewood (he's learning to not wait until the last minute.) A friend sent him this email:   

I am getting a truck of Douglas fir, standing dead for over 2 years, next week, probably the best load of the year.  $160 a cord, Cut to whatever length you want, split delivered and stacked.  Last truck of fir for the year, after that it's pine. 

We will stay super warm this winter thanks to this. The lady starts school next week, and Mr. Grumpy Hank will have his 15th birthday next week. Right now, I'm enjoying the sunshine and hikes!
