Like a lot of other people, I made a Dreamwidth account (same name). I don't think anything will happen to LJ (I would die!!), but a backup is always a good idea. I've been here since 2004 and would be devastated if I lost everything. I'll definitely keep using LJ though, it's the best! I'm sure the Russians would love my endless posts about Cherry LOL, so not too worried about security stuff either :P

Yesterday and today the weather was finally decent enough to go hiking! Yesterday we went to a place with giant boulders (I like that boulder. That is a nice boulder. Haha) and explored and found a couple geocaches (before that, we'd only found one on this trip! It's pretty hard to geocache when others in your group don't care about it lol)

Today we went to a place about an hour south of Payson. Mom decided to go down there because it's warmer and Ryan's super cold blooded (even today, in the 60 degree weather, his hands were still cold!). Except Ryan was like "I don't wanna drive and go out to eat and geocache etc etc." Ugh, he's one of the least fun people I've ever met..it's really frustrating! He just wants to stay home and watch TV. Meh. He did go anyway though. The weather was sunny and the perfect temperature for hiking. We were in the desert, and all the holes made by burrowing animals (snakes?) were creepy. O_o I kept feeling like something was going to bite me at any moment haha. It was a nice hike though (I think we did 3 or 4 miles maybe) and we found 13 geocaches!! (Sorry Ryan, we can't pass them up when they're right by the trail lol.) The mountains were so beautiful on the drive back to Payson. <3 So nice to see the sun again!!

We finally had a nice sunset a couple days ago!

This cactus must be super old (they grow very slowly, and don't grow arms till they're 75-100 years old. Wow). I wish I had gotten a better pic, but between the brightness and sunglasses I couldn't see the screen LOL

Wow awesome pics! Arizona is so beautiful <3 Haha I can imagine how all the burrows creeped you out. It must be so weird having to be on alert for such creatures when you don't have to in Alaska - there it's JUST bears and stuff ;) Lol.

Man, sorry that Ryan was being such a downer, that makes it difficult.

Ohhh Dreamwidth? I am going to have to look into this soon. I would also be devastated losing LJ! I have so much of my life here.
