Hello friends -
Sorry for the absence. Things happen and well...let's face it. I just am not the blogging type. I don't really like exposing my feelings to the world always. But hey...there are other things I like to expose like my silly skin colored swim shorts (which gained me a fan base while in Havasupai over the summer).

This summer was a summer of many great achievements. However the greatest achievement was the actualization of my love for the paranormal. I have always loved aliens, science fiction (which dirty rumor has it is often science fact!),
bigfoot, and the like. One lonely stormy Friday night in May I was home alone since my friends all left on a trip to Zion National Park without me (I couldn't go because I had a mass amount of homework for my final college course and I had recently had surgery and was in NO shape to hike). I was supposed to working on a massive research paper on the political power of religious leaders. However, my research led me elsewhere. I spent the evening researching Bigfoot and aliens. I slept with the lights on that night.
A great discovery indeed. It led to to places like
Mel's hole and
Skinwalker ranch amongst other adventures this summer. Here is Nate and I at the east entrance of Skinwalker Ranch:

We didn't get to spend enough time to do any investigating and such. But we did hear a strange metallic crunching and clanging on the ranch. Oddly enough in the book
"Hunt for the Skinwalker" by Colm Keller and George Knapp, the author's do reference a strange metallic sound as one of the unexplained phenomena of the ranch. Fascinating.
While I have not made dedicated excursions to seek out the paranormal, these trips are pending. Next up:
Destination: Signal Peak in the Pine Valley Mountains in southern Utah
