sub to the way

This hike was unbelievable...so pretty! The picture above is looking back on the subway. It is hard to tell the grand scale of this beauty by the picture. It was so huge and encompassing.


super neat water areas.



The tarantula fell from a tree and almost
landed on us. It creeped me out....I stayed far far away.

Last repel

Subway hike = Happiness

**A few highlights**
Those brave enough to get bonus points in the underwater arch. (not me)
Longest swim was one of the coolest sections with a wedged boulder. (made the freezing water worthwhile)
Beauty around every bend.
Looking good sporting harnesses.
Shane and his waterfall cave.
**Finally**
Shane making a young hippie cry. Shane had a tiny scratch on his toe. The hippie insisted on getting out his medical kit with iodine,drugs, (what kind? don't know... didn't ask) and bandages to fix him up. Shane denied this young hippie (who was very good at yoga) over and over again. I tried to get him to do it...I felt bad for the hippie and thought it would be good entertainment. The hippie even said "it would be more for me than for you...PLEASE." Still after knowing it would be more for the hippie's pleasure than his, and endless begging, he still refused. The hippie ended up crying and put a curse of bad karma on Shane. (seriously this part is true) Shane really and truly how could you to that to him?

Moni, that looked like such a fun adventure!! I was thinking the other day of one of our old adventures to "Little Wild Horse". The time where i was the meanest girl in the world...he he. I think i made that lady cry....Shane made the hippie cry and i made the lady with a backpack full of candy cry.....then we had to share a tent with her. not good. but, still fun laughing about it with you.

Glad you guys got to go on the Subway... actually I (matty matt) hiked it with a group of YM from our ward earlier in the month. One of the best hikes ever. Did you see the big white rock with the dinosaur footprints all over it? Someone pointed it out or I would have missed it... kind of toward the end of the hike along the riverbed. Come see us.
