Yurting Trip #2

We had another wonderful time in the Yurts over MLKJr Weekend. There were 5 of us that braved the cold and enjoyed 3 days in the mountains. This year, I think we broke a record of number of games played: Jerk, yahtzee, spoons, killer uno, uno, chicken ("the dice game") and good idea for playing dealer choice. All in all it was a wonderful time and wow do we haul in the good food...Thanks KJ for the burrito fixings and Tammy and Di for going all out on the breakfasts :)

...a yurting we will go, a yurting we will go...

In the amazing Uinta Mountains about 1 1/2 hours east of Salt Lake City are the tent cabins they call "Yurts" There are 5 Yurts all different distances from the trailhead. On this last trip, we went to the furthest yurt over 5 miles one way! It was very very cold but equally beautiful. Twice a year or so, it is a relaxing get-a-away in the mountains with my favorite friend...Champ...and a handful of good friends. Snowshoeing in all depths of snow, wind, sun, or moonlight :) "I'm free....free falling" as we like to call it in new powder heading down the mountain.

Welcome to my blog! After many friends have told me to post my many travels to a blog, I finally gave in...I hope you enjoy the sights!
