So apparently you might be able to see the Aurora Borealis on wednesday night. That’s cool. Just one problem…it hasn’t been that sunny recently! Last time I checked you can’t really see this thing through a cloud deck. So, since I’m the weather guy, G asked me “to tell him where to drag his butt to at 3 in the morning so that he could see the lights.”

Welcome back! HIKE WEEK keeps on rolling today with our tenth SPA Trip. Today we showcase what some people view as the best reason to go for a hike: it’s a means to an end!

As mentioned earlier today when I first put up the report about our ascent of the Trap Dike, we decided to bring Porter and Dwyer (long time friends, and chief executive directors of the FIS Utah Headquarters) along for the ride. Dwyer hasn’t been on an east coast adventure with us since The (Other) Stowe Derby, and Porter hasn’t been on one in… well… a VERY long while. We figured it was time to change that, and Kristin dutifully agreed to carry them both in her backpack. To keep HIKE WEEK trucking along here on FIS, let’s see the Trap Dike from their perspective.

Life is hard in the PNW. Sometimes you are sitting around at noon on a mid July Sunday trying to decide weather to go skiing or fishing… but wait! You can do both. About 20 mins from the car.
