Thanks for the date of the movie @scatman I was 12 when it was released. This reminded me of the movie "Frogs", also released in 1972. I remember some scenes from the movie, and it was also cheesy, but that one scared the heck out of me. It'd be great to find them on Netflix.

Haven't heard of "Frogs" before. I'll have to check it out.

The scene in Boggy where the monster looks in the window...that's the only part I've seen, that short clip, and I refuse to see the rest because I have an overactive imagination. I can't watch scary movies because they come back to haunt me when I'm camping.

Not sure Boggy would bother me as much today as when I was a kid. My "this isn't real" meter is set on high now.

My wife and I walked up to the 1.5 mile marker in City Creek today for a round trip total of 6.73 miles. The air in the valley hasn't been good, but this morning it was getting a green reading so we finished up before it got worse in the afternoon.

Man, I need one of these.


We call this guy the "hospital crow" as it is always hanging out at LDS Hospital


This squirrel was nice enough to pose for me


The city has put in some trails above Memory Grove and we decided to take one of them


They contour around the side of the hill before either dropping down to Memory Grove or head up to Bonneville Blvd.


Still contouring


I have never been on any of these trails before. I also took my shoulder sling pack which weighed about five pounds.


Tricky on the knee getting over this pipe.


The Oregon Grape never disappoints this time of year


At the mouth of City Creek Canyon


Some mirror fun at the guard shack


Cold enough for some ice sickles. 27 degrees when we left our house


City Creek


A bird's nest in some red osier dogwood along the creek


Bridge over City Creek


Hornets' nest high above the road


Snowy City Creek


Made it to the 1.5 mile marker. The guy heading my way is none other than Rod Decker who retired as a reporter form Channel 2 News.


Smiling that we are finally going downhill. Pay attention to that big rock on the hill behind Sheila




Hard to tell, but that is a golden eagle perched on top of the rock. Sorry, my camera was not the best at zooming.

The Shark Fin


And City Creek again


Ensign Peak in 28 days!


Now we are talking.



The camera I took with me this morning was a Olympus TG-630, which doesn't take the best pictures and has a feeble zoom capability, but I can spit on it, lick it, or throw it at passers by and it still keeps on ticking. I knew that you would want to know this information @Rockskipper.
