The Subway

Dad and I hiked the Subway this last weekend. My greatest accomplishment was that I did the entire hike without a rappelling harness. (Mom scoffs at that, but for me that is huge.) It was amazing! As you can see, besides just canyoneering, there was also swimming.







Also should be mentioned in this blog, our trip home was about as eventful as our hike. While driving home, we suddenly found ourselves with a splitting tire. Having had some experience with this last summer, I thought it would be a quick job to switch tires and be on the road again. To our chagrin, as we removed the lug nuts, two of the lugs snapped off, as depicted here. Luckily, we had two angels that lived nearby and happened to be related to us that by some miracle were able to find lugs and lug nuts and made them work so that we could make it home.

Here is our mishmash of lugs and lug nuts.
