It's Labor Day 2020, September 7. The city temperatures are in the low 90's today with a 30 degree drop expected by sometime tomorrow. The mountain maples, the first trees in our area to make the transition from green to red, are starting to change. Is it time to put the shorts away or will we enjoy an extended Indian summer this year? That's what I love about the changing seasons - a little uncertainty from day to day.
With only 40 days left to achieve our goal of visiting all the trails on the TFNU 2020 map, I'm thinking we might not make it. By October 17 we will have explored all the new trails we have never been to and that was really the main point of the challenge. We have also written letters to public entities thanking them for their efforts and have donated dollars to their fundraising. We look forward to the next month, celebrating everything Mother Nature has in store.
In August we rode the Centennial Trial from South Ogden through Riverdale and the Weber River Parkway then onto the Ogden River Parkway and back to the east bench. We also assisted the trails foundation with placing information signs on two trails we had never visited - Pleasant View to No. Ogden Divide and No. Ogden Divide to Coldwater Canyon, both part of the Bonneville Shoreline trail.
We also made trips into the Uinta and Sawtooth Wilderness areas, discovering new terrain and revisiting old favorites.
It's great to be alive and enjoying everything our public lands and wild places offer us daily!
