Uinta's Swiftcreek loop with Brandon

 Planned a 35mile loop on the swiftcreek loop in the Uinta's 1 hour from Duchesne.  This 3 day loop planning about 12miles per day with a 30lb pack.  Did not have any time for fishing by the time we arrived at designation.  

multiple river crossing where the water was running fast and had to take it slow to cross.  Only 1 deer was seen.  Hunters in the area were seeing game, we was making to much noise and watching our feet to see anything.  

It was a fast loop with almost no downtime.  Took the hammock, wished I has a different underquilt setup and a different way to keep my toes warm while sleeping.  The rest of me was warm, just cold toes.

Hyde reunion with siblings

 Meri and Julie deciding on the organization of the Hyde reunion found an AirB&B for rent 10 mins from dads place.  We also received permission to to have extra people at the  AirB&B so it could be used as the main hub.  

This worked out very well for everyone involved.  It was nice to have everyone there and had some good time visiting.
