Here we are again, on the verge of another adventure to Zion National Park!

This time, I'll be going with my beloved [livejournal.com profile] viesti! It's going to be so awesome to be able to share this experiencing with her.

Looking back on last year, Zion was a major turning point in my life. Something about gave me this sense of utter accomplishment and pride. Like I had done something amazing and incredible just by going and doing all of these things. Zion was when I decided that it was time to start working hard towards getting money saved for SRS, and it was the point when I came back and started doing a lot of coding again.

I don't know what it is about it, really. Something about being out in the wilderness and going on honest-to-goodness adventures is really awesome and inspiring.

This year, we're starting with Mystery Canyon as our first canyon. For those that don't remember, Mystery was the canyon that almost killed us last year. This year, we're getting up early and we're going to take that fucker down. Helluva first canyon for [livejournal.com profile] viesti, though! We're throwing her in the deep end to begin with!

Like last year, we're going to do the short and sweet Keyhole Canyon again the day after. It's just such a cute and adorable little slot canyon. Just 3 hours and you're in and out. And gods-damn do we look sexy in our wetsuits!

We're not sure what we're going to be doing after that, but we've got a few ideas. On Tuesday, we're looking to meet up with Tom Jones to possibly do one of the expert-level canyons, such as Englestead Canyon. Tom Jones literally wrote the book on canyoneering in Zion. The man is incredible, and I feel very honored that he's going to guide us through a canyon while we're out there.

Besides that, we have thoughts about doing Behunin Canyon and Spry Canyon, but no definite plans as of yet.

I'm not sure if I'm going to be terribly into the story telling this year or not, right now I'm feeling not, but I'll definitely be posting pictures of our adventures as we go.

I dropped [livejournal.com profile] the_local_echo, [livejournal.com profile] parmonster, and [livejournal.com profile] auntysarah at the airport this morning at 6AM, and [livejournal.com profile] viesti and I will be driving to Zion some time this afternoon. [livejournal.com profile] zoeimogen will be joining us at some point in there, but I'm not privy to when that's happening.

Keep in touch, and I'll see you all on the 28th when I get back! Wish us luck and safe adventures! Let's hope for no brushes with death this year, eh? :)
