Summer backpackin 8/21/09-8/22/09

August is a great time for camping in utah. The temperature is far cooler then salt lake and pc, and most of the skeeters have died off for the season. My brothers and i decided it was time to go do some hikin'. The fishing at this zone is epic! Justin, Ian and good friend lance "Monkey" made the hike over ___ peak around noon... I had to do some work that day so my buddy jabroni and i hiked up later around 5:30. The views are epic, Doesn't get much better then sleepin under a clear starry sky!
