St. George Turkey(s)

Overdue? Yes. Worth the wait? Also, yes.

Carl and I spent Turkey Day '07 with the whole Bauer clan in St. George, UT and had a grand time. The food, company, outings and weather were all unbeatable! Here are a few shots from our good times...

Brief back-story for the next few pics: A few years ago C and I hit up some mountain bike trails with Paul in Utah for fun during one of our school breaks. One trail in particular stuck out as being just about the best ever, and said trail has remained the top favorite for both of us ever since. We rode this very same trail on Thanksgiving, which was a treat, but are especially excited that this trail is now minutes away from the newly acquired Bauer Winter Retreat in St. George! In fact, the base of the trail is about a quarter mile away from the front door! SCORE!

Biking on the -awesome- trails behind the new house!Later in the trip we did another ride, which was a bit more daring and required more breaks...And finally, the last day of our visit, the boys went out on the Virgin River while I explored downtown by bike.
A fun place and a great trip!
