The family went for a Sunday drive to Olsen Reservoir, Buckhorn Reservoir, and the south side of Cedar Mountain

A solo hike that I did on Saturday, and another trip to a dinosaur quarry with some family on Monday

An overnighter to the Vernal, Utah, area. I hiked Marsh Peak in the morning, and visited Fantasy Canyon in the evening.

This was a 113-mile drive beginning in Price, going up Whitmore Canyon near East Carbon, over Bruin Point, winding down several canyons into Nine Mile Canyon, then back to Price.

A Brittany Spaniel that we adopted from the animal shelter in Payson

Another weekend of camping and ATV riding near Temple Wash

A six day camping trip at Temple Wash, with some hiking in Wild Horse Canyon

Pictures from several different weekends of geocaching

A group of eight people hiking to Sid's Mountain, a remote and beautiful part of the San Rafael Swell

Some crazy man slashed the tires on my truck while my sons and I were out hiking. A lot of law enforcement officers arrived to try to catch the guy.

Pictures from a long but really fun geocaching trip in the San Rafael Swell

Pictures taken while doing geocaching activities over the past few weeks

A trip to a natural bridge in an area known as Horse Heaven, on the northeastern slopes of the San Rafael Reef

Pictures from a wintery trip through the San Rafael Desert, and a hike near Moonshine Wash

The first real snow we've had all winter. All the other storms we've had dropped too little snow that melted too quickly.

Rare photographs of my children holding very still

I took the day off work and did some geocaching in the area and took some awesome pictures!

This just goes to show what a dork I am. TNLNSL is an acronym that I use frequently for geocaching.

Nothing special, just a singletrack trail north of Price. Surprisingly, despite the patches of snow, December is a good month for riding.

I went on a little fossil hunting expedition and placed a geocache while I was there.

Fall colors and sunset shots while on a Sunday drive up Huntington Canyon, through Eccles Canyon and over to Scofield.

Walk-Up Lake in the Uinta Mountains north of Roosevelt. Mark and I hiked there to find one of the oldest unfound geocaches in Utah.

My new truck! We bought this to replace my old F-150--now we can fit the whole family in the truck and pull our camp trailer with ease.

A day-trip to Buckhorn Wash with mine and my sister's family, mostly pictographs and petroglyphs.

Pictures taken over the course of several weeks in such places as Black Dragon Wash, Utah Lake, The Wickiup, Buckhorn Wash, and Moonshine Wash.

A hike near Moab with a guy who was, at the time, a complete stranger. We found a geocache together at the base of the rock formation known as Sister Superior.

The Wickiup is a formation (ok, well, it's just a hill) in the San Rafael Swell which I hiked to while trying to find a geocache.

My hike to the highest point in Emery County, Utah.

My hike to the highest point in Sanpete County, Utah.

By far the nicest vehicle I've owned to date.

New paneling, carpet, and a window seat for my dining room.

Various pictures while geocaching at the San Rafael Reef, Mounds Reef, and other places. Also the assembly of my utility trailer, and some petroglyphs near Gordon Creek.

This is what about $10,000 will buy you when your sewer line gets blocked.

I wanted my last name, Udink, on my license plate, but the Utah DMV wouldn't allow it. I had to settle for "BADFISH" instead.

I removed the automatic transmission from my '87 Subaru and replaced it with a manual transmission from my '88 Subaru. I also swapped out most of the front-end components (struts, steering knuckles, control arms, etcetera).

I drove my family through the northern half of the San Rafael Swell from Price to I-70. Includes the Wedge, Buckhorn Wash, the San Rafael Reef, and Spotted Wolf Canyon.

A hike with Mike and Matt to the highest point in Wasatch County, Utah.

A drive to Monument Peak--the highest point in Carbon County, Utah--and vicinity.

I blew another head gasket in my Subaru, so I bought this little SUV as a daily driver for me and the wife. Sold it in September 2005.

Our second child, Bradley.

I rode my bike up Alrad Canyon to look for a USGS benchmark on a ridge in the Book Cliffs. Didn't find it, but found relatively recent evidence of surveying activity.

Miscellaneous pictures from three different places.

Finally, we can go camping in style!

It's a boy!

Replacing a blown head gasket on my Subaru. Also replaced most other gaskets and oil seals.

I bought this car with a bad automatic transmission for $150 and towed it home on a rented ($50) U-Haul flatbed. The jury is still out on whether or not I'll actually do anything with it.

Shows some cracks in an EA82 cylinder head, which is apparently a very common problem and not worth worrying about (I reused these heads without any crack-related problems).

Always an exciting day for me each year. I just had to take some pictures.

This was the biggest repair job I'd done on any vehicle up to this point, and it turned out quite well.

I sent it in for warranty repair, and they sent it back in this nice case.

I'm lucky that I live so close to Nine Mile Canyon, known as "the world's longest art gallery." Many petroglyphs and a few pictographs by Fremont Indians from thousands of years ago.

Pictures I took in a few different places as I bummed around in my Subaru

My new 9mm handgun, and a few scenery pictures thrown in just for the hell of it.

I took my wife and son on a short drive into the Swell while there was some flash-flooding going on. My Subaru got a flat tire while fording a creek that hadn't been there when we crossed an hour earlier.

Pictures from two different camping trips--one at Strawberry Reservoir, and the other just off Huntington Canyon on Miller Flat Road.

I spent the morning hiking and taking pictures in the Billie's Mountain area, and after returning home, I left again to tow my bro-in-law's Bronco home.

My newly planted lawn, and photos from a day trip to Strawberry Reservoir.

Pictures taken along Reservation Ridge between Avintaquin campground and Soldier Summit, along with a few other miscellaneous things.

Day trip to an area where there was a recent wildfire.

Pictures from a camping trip, along with some various other photos.

All kinds of stuff.

A pretty large wildfire in and around Price Canyon.

I created a concrete pathway in my front yard, using a mold to form individual concrete stones.

A bike ride along the Helper Parkway, and the full moon later that night.

I think I'm going to enter this kid into a medieval jousting tournament.

My Subaru humping it up the hill to Nutty Putty Cave. Didn't quite make it all the way.

Michael's birthday, and also what inevitably happens after you wash your car.

I bought a faulty sound card for my computer, but I finally figured out how to fix it.

Some photos of a pleasant winter drive from Provo to Price. We stopped near the Red Narrows and in Price Canyon for some photo opportunities.

I paid $800 for this car, and though it survived a new clutch and new head gaskets, it finally gave up the ghost in August 2003 after another blown head gasket and a badly overheated engine. I got my money's worth out of it, though..

Pictures I took while wandering aimlessly on a lonely winter day.

I was supposed to drive from Price to Provo for work, but turned around because of bad weather.

Mostly pictures of my son, Michael.

Some really bad pictures of what may or may not be meteors. My camera at the time (Canon PowerShot S10) sucked for this type of photography.

Pictures from my son's first Halloween.

While traveling in Interstate 15, doing about 75 MPH, the driveshaft on my '79 F-150 decided to let go.

Pretty lame. A KSL 5 news helicopter is apparently helping police search for two fugitives from the law. Hey, it was big news in Price!

Channel 2 camera man setting up to record some footage. This is a block away from my house, where a guy claimed to have received anthrax in his mail, but it turned out being a hoax.

Another drive to Pinnacle Peak, but this time I climbed to the top of the hill.

Out for an evening drive near Pinnacle Peak.

Pictures of my morning commute (as the September 11 attacks were being committed), and a little target shooting just outside of town.

A camping trip just off of Skyline Drive near Tucker.

I'd just bought my first digital camera, and these are my first photos with it

The birth of our first son, Michael.

A few various pictures, mostly of my vehicles.
