We first hiked up to Governor Dick Tower. The boys enjoyed climbing to the top, but weren't as impressed with the views as I was. They were more thrilled to simply climb up and down a few times and count the the number of daddy long leggers that were on the side of the tower.
After Governor Dick, we made our way to Dinosaur Rock. The boys love climbing on, over and under the the large boulders that make up the "dinosaur." It was good exercise for them and I had a peaceful ride home as they were either sleeping or looking out the window with that far-away stare.

(Behold the Dinosaur! Unfortunately this Jurassic age treasure is too close to a road, and an easy hike, which makes it accessible for any knuckleheads with a can of spray paint)

Fish,
I guess that rock formation is natural, other than the paint, courtesy of the d-bags as you call them... Pretty impressive.
New mountain bike, sounds like fun. I've looked at them from time to time, but need to talk to someone who is knowledgeable, could easily make a big mistake buying the 'wrong' one.
Yes, it is natural with the exception of the paint. I've toned down my description of the offenders. I was really peeved yesterday at the proliferation of graffiti.
The key to buying a bike is finding a good bike shop.
fall is approaching...cherish those days outside!
Great pictures Kurt! I can't believe how big those boulders and leaves are compared to the scale of the boys.
My cousin and I used to play with daddy long legs all the time when we were little. We even went door-to-door to sell them as pets. Hmmnn... no takers though!
The classes you teach sound very interesting, especially global perspectives. But I like history too. Have fun this semester!
