It was another beautiful day here. I think it must have made it up to 60 degrees or so. We got lots of work done in the yard, and then went for a walk.
This pic is from our walk. It was taken w/ my new (40 years-old) Jupiter 8 lens on my Lumix camera. The lens is a Soviet-made copy of a Leica lens. Looks okay to me… And Lori and Cookie look so good!

I have made some changes to the web page here to show my training activities. Training for Dipsea, OkFree, and other events.
One change is the list of recent tracks that I have uploaded to SportsTrackLive.com. These are GPS tracks captured by my Android phone. You can see the list on the right sidebar.
I also added a new page called “Training”. Clever name. Anyway, there is a tab at the top of the page that will take you to that page. The page has a map of my most recent track.
2012 is going to be a good year…

Here’s a pic from our New Year’s Eve hike in Coyote Buttes. This is from the top of some of the slickrock formations.
We had a really great hike on this day. We had permits to South Coyote Buttes, but we drove to the end of the road (Jeep required), and hiked out to the Tee-pees first. Then on to this rock formation before heading back. It was truly spectacular.

Yep, 15 days of winter camping. Life is good.
Happy New Year to all of you readers! All 3 of you! 
Here is a pic from our hike in Buckskin Gulch in Southern Utah. It was one of the best hikes in memory. Just amazing. And pretty easy too. More to come later, but here is the pic:
We had wonderful weather for our entire trip. We left on December 22, and arrived home last night. Not a drop of rain, and temperatures were warm (40s in the day time and >15 at night). Really, everything went right this year — which was a happy contrast to last year’s 100 year rains.
Here’s a shot of some of the narrows. There are miles more of this. Some much more narrow too.
And, here is a shot from Coral Pink Sand Dunes…
And another one…
