Yesterday I went hiking with Kelly, the science teacher that was next door during my first two years of teaching. She was invaluable to my those first two turbulent years- she listened and gave advice, all without being judgemental. And I miss her a lot at my new job, because there isn't anyone like her! But we still get together from time to time to go hiking... a common hobby. Yesterday we did a four mile hike to Powell Lake. It was a pretty moderate hike and we even had to cross snow at times. The best place we passed was "Burst Rock," which, according to a legend, a pioneer woman gave birth on. Ewww. Not so pleasant of a place now. At least it had great views. Check it out below!
