June Update

Snake River Bench Trail overlooking the South Fork of the Snake River - second week of June

Well, here goes and I'm going to try to make it quick.

I got a job before I left to Utah as a caretaker of a ranch just a few miles from my house. I take care of the inside of the houses. It's a beautiful location and interesting so far. I feel very lucky to have gotten such an interesting, flexible job.

I've done some running and there are pictures of the scenery and interesting stuff I saw around the way.

The trip to Utah for Desert RATS was incredible. It was sunny and hot. There were 10 runners and 4 mountain bikers. I mostly did support for the runners and bikers and helped around camp. It was very inspiring to see what people can do with their bodies and how hard they pushed them. I've included a few pictures from the Desert RATS in the slide show below.

The return to Idaho was nice because it's been sunny and warm here - Thank goodness!!! Flowers are blooming, trees are filling out and I'm not wearing a sweater!

Sorry for not emailing anyone. I can't keep on top of things.

Tomorrow through Saturday or Sunday I will be helping Lisa and Jay Batchen at a Teton Ultra Running camp. I will probably mostly tag along but I'm grateful for the opportunity and I hope to learn a lot.
