Summer Fun Continues!




The Summer fun continues. I'm going to visit the great city of Austin, Texas for the Austin City Limits music festival! I can't wait to attend. Rock in Rio Madrid gave me the bug again. Previously, I've attended Lollapalooza (one of the first ones), almost attended the 25th anniversary of Woodstock but missed it :( and I've been to Bumpershoot in Seattle, etc. This should be a great time as Austin is a killer city.

I hope to visit and hang out with my friend Troy and his wife, but ironically, I think they may be coming back to Indiana that weekend. I'm hoping that is not the case. Right now we are only attending one of the days and will hang out in Austin for the rest of the weekend, but we'll see where the wind takes us. This event will help us to bring the summer to a close.

To open up the Fall we are going on another adventure trip out West. Seems to be an annual Fall event at this point. We hope to do a single day hike and crossing of the Grand Canyon. We went two years ago and hiked down, camped and came back up the South loop area. However, this time, we intend to go to the North side and in one single grueling push, we will go down, across and up the South side...enjoying its beauty along the way and hoping not to destroy our knees! Truly, it will be absolutely grueling. I think it is roughly 24 miles, but it feels much worse. You are essentially hiking in a desert on a reverse mountain. It will be a fun fitness adventure. Time to strap on a backpack and start doing stadium stairs again!
