So we are now backpacking this upcoming weekend in southern Utah, but on Sunday we drove to the Uintas for a day hike to Cliff Lake. The Uintas are where Abe would backpack every year growing up, and it was so special to go to this place in Utah that has been such a big part of his own history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the way to the Uintas, we ran into a herd of sheep. They were grazing in the Aspen forest and nearby meadows, and we had to slow down because they were also crisscrossing the road! The only time I&#8217;ve ever stopped in the road for sheep was in Ireland, so to me the sheep seemed exotic. The kids were enchanted and Basil had fun barking at all of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/RdCZQJo1ZoHtUDTJph9bxXT0nOk6i-r8BC_dmiyyVEXLLCWBdpZEehMnAAq8h5_1zg_MyvyN498b-pBWy-Ki5rr10vA6zapvPJcooWeZM59JLVaAPyigTfPoL_WM3B77Wwia7N5b6Hs=w2400\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/t8MQ8SDr_XB21KyaZEXIopnO_rcjp2zEBv7qx5-J0kWVo31lWxl5PRbQPwH2_1UBd507kpmsYLrW1vcLkTXO_XlCvhAQlbtymMXzFP6GWzkafnbMUDqXuQGzfwuV9Q_eWJtlP66bb7U=w2400\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"IMG 7358\" width=\"660\" height=\"371\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sICl6zLGmN0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When we got to the trailhead, everyone ate breakfast and then we began our hike.

fish for a couple of hours. We didn&#8217;t even know that they were used for cliff jumping, but some boys jumped off several times while we were there. That felt like free entertainment! Lydia is currently our only child proficient at fishing and casting, so Abe was very, very busy helping tie and re-tie all of the poles, and the rest of the kids spent most of the time playing pretend in the woods and by the shore of the lake. Abe didn&#8217;t get very much time to fish himself, but even so he was so happy to just be back in the Uintas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"IMG 7426\" width=\"660\" height=\"371\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/53AZUUBaN_o?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption>Here is Basil not wanting to take a bath<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/pxkmQm4YxNxMTwlUYOJXl1w9WO5CopTqHQaiT8MGqIMvBUrIMLBshCNQ_iTy1oC6IzeYri7nXEbI-a-_rTzTPMspTPTG4uLzkGN8SR5me-cuDrH8nLM2CpV4V5hSbwsmHKiOoQmFRbU=w2400\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption>We came home, had some takeout for dinner and then let the kids play in the sprinklers until bed time. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We have been wanting to backpack in the Uintas all summer but have not had a free weekend, and now it is too cold to backpack.
