White Rim In A Day (W.R.I.A.D.)

The White Rim is a 103 mile, over 9,000 feet of climbing, four wheel drive road in Canyonlands National Park outtside of Moab, UT. I did the trail 20 years ago as a 16 year old teenager, but remembered little of the experience. Lately I had read about many who were riding it in a day, so of course my brother Guthrie and I decided to do the same. It was a rough beginning and I suppose it was an indicator of the ride itself.

The Musical and Artistic Joshua

Joshua is first chair in the Jazz B Band- What that boils down to is that he is the best Trombone in the school. When josh first approached us with the idea of playing the Trombone I was a little hesitant. My musical ability is anythink less than stellar and in-fact believe that I missed the music talent line in heaven. We supportively found him a nice used trombone and it began; 6:30 A.M. Practices everyday, rehearsals after school and the wonderful practicing that reverberates throughout the house. But look at him now. In the festival they attended as a symphony, Josh had a solo and recieved the highest mark.
