When we moved to Utah in 1991 (yes, that was so long ago that Gabi wasn't even born!) we discovered the AF Canyon and fell in love. Back in the day it was hardly crowded and that, combined with the stream of trout just waiting to be fished, really appealed to Blaine.
While in the USMC we had been living in so many "lovely places" with:
1.no mountains
2.no trout streams
3.no cool mountain air
and
4.way too many wierd bugs
We were so excited! I think we came so often that the kids thought they owned their spot. We had birthdays here and took grandparents here...we loved it!
When we moved to Alpine it was even better. In less than 10 minutes we could be in the mountains, catching fish, getting dirty, and roasting hot dogs. Life was so good!
Now the next generation of "Butlers" are doing the same thing. It's a little more crowded, a little bit nicer, but there are still trout in the river, dirt to be played in and things to explore.
