I don't remember going to grand canyon with you guys. I remember bryce, yellowstone, mesa verde..I remember hiking down a trail in bryce, but I only remember camping once with all of us when your glasses rolled down the hill and into the lake in a tire. Where was that? I have a really bad memory:(

Actually, I like the North side better and we were there in the summer and it was nice and warm...Bright Angel Point was awesome with a full moon...

Tony, I LOVE Mesa Verde.... I have been there three times...

And Yes Putz, I did march that "sucker" right out of the house and into the garbage can...

A photo never does this place justice. This is a GREAT photo, but it takes your breath away when you are there!

I went to the Grand Canyon with my family in the spring of 1985. That was my first time on a plane.

Actually Tony and Putz, that was in the late nineties. I remember going with mom, Putz, Mike, and Becky. Mike and I hiked down it and the sunsets were beautiful. I'd go again. I remember I got a Grand Canyon baseball cap. I got pictures to prove it, I was like 17.

I'm jealous. I haven't climbed a single mountain or camped anywhere in Utah yet, and I have lived here 9 years. Siiiigh...

Putz, you need to post a list of the places you've gone camping with your kids. I need some good, kid-friendly camping ideas around here.

Putz, we missed you in Caineville by the way! It would have been fun for you to join us in one of our favorite places.
