Take a Hike...Finally!

Most of you 

have heard of hiking "the Y" at BYU.

Well, there is in existence, 

an "R" at BYU-I.

And after living here five years,

Becca, Odie, Tommy, and I

finally hiked it!

It's on the side of a butte. 

Which is basically a mashed potato mountain

with a huge spoonful scooped out of the middle/top.

These things happen when mountains explode.

This is the view from halfway up

Becca, Odie, Carly, & Tommy = 1

Butte = 0

Victory!

There were lots of amazing caves all over the ridge top.

The bunnies have perfect houses up here. 

Every cave has a billion pockets and openings.

We sat in one cave that was right on the edge.

Becca's new "someone's taking a picture of me" face,

involves major facial excitement

and the sign language symbol for "more!".

You can't tell because I am so tall,

but that is a 50-90ft drop off behind my head.

It slops pretty steeply so we couldn't get an exact estimate.

Tommy was poking around a random cave at the top,

touched a natural rock shelf,

broke it with his amazing accidental strength,

and found a geocache!

We signed our names in its log book

and left a couple things inside.

A clothes pin that says "Jared"

and a joker card from Tommy's deck.

We're famous!
