Another rock climbing / rappelling extravaganza. We went out to White Rocks on the Dugway proving grounds (ya, we're probably getting radiation poisoning or something...). We climbed up the cliff about 200 feet and slept under a cliff overhang.
Of course we chose the weekend of the big thunderstorm that hit Utah - I heard there was golf ball sized hail in Davis county. We experienced the lightning closer than I've ever been. So close, in fact, that we couldn't see the "strikes" of lighting, or a flash of light in the sky. So close that our entire field of vision went stark white and we couldn't see for a moment afterwards. So close that the lighting and the thunder were instantaneous and shock the ground and the rock above use. So close that Jake was afraid we were going to get struck.
The next morning the weather was absolutely perfect. Here's the awesome group getting ready to head down (aside from Christin and I).

What fun adventures you are going on. That's kind of crazy about the lightening. Be careful. :)
