Thursday was kind of a bummer. Jason’s good karma paid off, and he and Kristin were able to get a permit to do Mystery, which Tom Jones rates as one of the best canyons in Zion. However, it was decided that I should take a rest day, since we’d be doing Behunin tomorrow, which would be a big day. It was probably a good decision, but it sucked sitting around all day, waiting for Jason and Kristin to come back. I hung out with my feet in the Virgin River, reading my Everett Ruess biography, but it was still pretty hot. I was really glad when they came back (raving about the canyon, but saying the approach was awful), and Jason took us to a ghost town outside of Springdale where Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid was filmed. We ended the day with sangria at the Bit and Spur.
Since I am finally done with Practicum I and only have one project left to finish for my Reading and Language Theory class, I decided to spend the evening relaxing with the latest issue of my favorite magazine, Bust . In this issue, I read about: Fat women on reality shows A new version of roller derby called Derby Lite A global O that will be occurring on December 21-22 Recipes for finger foods to serve at holiday parties How to make your own yarn Asheville, NC (now I want to move there even more...)
