A Great Spring Weekend

Friday, I had my semi-annual board meeting with the Bryce Canyon Natural History Association. Bubby and I drove over early, in order to be present for the 9:00 AM start. The meeting ended much sooner than anticipated, so we had some time to goof off on Friday afternoon. We drove to Antimony, Utah, and shared a piece of coconut cream pie at the Antimony Merc. We stayed overnight at Ruby's Grand Hotel, courtesy of the NHA, and then drove on over to Escalante where we joined up with Lloyd and Myra and the Kenneys. We did a hike to Calf Creek Falls on a remarkably beautiful day. The leaves on the oak brush were bright green and tender and the ambient temperature was about perfect. On the drive over, Bubby confided that she would like to walk in a 5 K fun walk sometime. I made her smile when I told her that because a K (kilometer) is 0.62 miles, or daily 3.2 mile route constitutes a 5 K. Heck, we walk 5 K every morning. It doesn't get any more fun than that! Buboppy
