Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

I would’ve won that show

Dang it… now I’m thinking about competing. Ain’t nobody got time for that.

While in Moab we also visited Canyonlands NP (yet another canyon, but had great hikes; gotta love a rock that looks like a sombrero), Capital Reef NP (not impressed), Dead Horse Point State Park, and did a tough but really cool hike to Corona Arch.

I totally disagree about CapReef, I think it is amazing. If all you know of it is the main road going through part then I understand...but the remote, hard to get to Cathedral Valley in the north, and the area the Burr trail traverses in the south part of the park are incredible.

Montana is beautiful too. At least to me the western part is. Just left there and not so impressed with what I saw of the eastern part of the state driving to SD.

What a neat place to hold a wedding.

Eastern Montana is just like Eastern Colorado...flat as a fritter. You have to love the Great Plains to love either place.

Kanab has so much to do around it that it’s impossible to share it all. We saw:

-the north rim of the Grand Canyon where we did a couple of nice hikes and saw this amazing canyon from the other side. This was also the first place we saw bison. A nice surprise.

-Zion NP didn’t live up to the hype, probably because of crowds, but we did an awesome like there and saw these Bighorns at its end

-Horseshoe Bend, but I’ve already posted pix from there since it’s in AZ.

-Bryce Canyon NP was the first park we visited that we said we’ve got come back to again in the future. Just when we thought we’ve seen all the cool rock formations we could, we visit this place. And awesome hikes, including the best one I’ve done, the Navajo Loop.

Zion overrated?.. I don't care if there was a million people there that place is insanely beautiful.

I lived about 100 miles east of Billings. There were some nice hills out my direction but for the most part it was flat and treeless.

Side note: I spent all my summers in the Bighorn Mtns of Wyoming. Absolute heaven on earth.

 

[SSVol]

After spending most of my life surrounded by hills, I get uncomfortable when the terrain is too flat. Wouldn't say I'm agoraphobic, but the discomfort is real. Visits are fine, but the hills are always calling.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

The best part of our Kanab stay was that our daughter, son-in-law, and 4 of our grandkids came out from SC while we were there. We had a great time in spite of triple-digit temps just about every day.

We visited a few places we thought the kids would enjoy more, although they did awesome on the adult hikes.

The girl in the purple shirt in the 3rd picture is Maia, our miracle girl, and I’ve got to brag on her a bit. They adopted her from an orphanage in Bulgaria. Although she was 3 or 4, she was developmentally like a baby because of malnutrition. She couldn’t walk, crawl, or move much at all. Doctors said she would never be able to walk.

Not only can she now walk, she did all of the hiking with us. Sometimes miles at a time, up and down mountains.

Beautiful.. The story even more than the place.

Sidenote: Amazon usually does a parallel series titled All or Nothing that is actually way better than Hard Knocks IMO

I love Sheridan...that would be a cool place to live I think...not a fan of Billings.

I know not USA , but my gosh Canadian sand volleyball player Brandie Wilkerson!!!

Beach volleyball in a thong? Ok. Gives new meaning to "gritty performance".

Give me my hills and my trees!

My daughter plays beach volleyball and recently played in Pompano Beach. I was absolutely astonished when there were 13-17 year olds playing in thongs and their parents sit and watched like it was no big deal. What are we doing as a society to normalize this type of stuff for our young ladies?

100 or 200?

 

[drvenner]

Clearly, few of you read my last Kanab, UT post about Maia. So lesson learned; short and to the point.

Beartooth Highway and Chief Joseph Scenic Highway.

@drvenner

I'm looking for a new job after getting fired yesterday. I could really see myself inspecting mirrors for a living.

I think there's a flaw in your plan. You might even say it has some noticeable cracks in it.

Much sought after donuts from the donut stand.

No sprinkles, no filling, no taste.

McGILL will love it, though.

Awesome pictures, awesome family, awesome story. Just awesome.

I am listening to the UT media day today, and I am enjoying the honesty from the coaches.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

I don’t know if they required everyone… but it is hilarious to me that ole Rucker is wearing a mask. Cause of course he is

I could be wrong but i think Rucker had some serious health issues a while ago. Maybe had a stroke?

I totally get it. My daughter has been doing competitive dance since she was three. Thankfully, our teacher is very conservative and requires tights with leotards and does not allow bare midriffs, typically. Some of the costumes I have seen at these competitions along with some of the choreography for young ladies from 6 to 18 is downright shameful. @VolsDoc81TX can likely attest as it sounds like he has been attending dance competitions for his daughter for some time as well.

Billings is a butthole. Nothing good there lol. There’s a little town called Dayton about 15 miles outside of Sheridan at the foot of the Bighorns that I would move too if I ever went back out there.

Why don’t I move back there? A) I LOVE Tennessee, and B) -50 below zero winters
