Kyoo 187 - Government Canyon

Government Canyon.  I discovered this place last summer on a biking escapade with Speed.  (that's really his name).  I almost died that day but that's another story.  This "state natural area" is just 20 minutes from my house but it's quite secluded for being so close to the city.  It's perfect for day trips on weekends that I can't escape for a real camping trip.  Lots of trails for hiking, biking, and trail running.

Plus, there's the opportunity to see feral hogs.

"Run like the wind Bullseye!"

I've been there many times and still haven't seen one but there are so many other things you can do at Government Canyon!

For instance you can...

...discover what those many loopholes on your backpack are for.  Andes mint anyone?

 

...find the number 27!

...make a sandwich...using cheese...as a knife.

...sit on a really spiky rock to eat your lunch.

...take creepy pictures of you and your hiking buddy.

...eat a hot pocket "cooked" by sitting in your bag all morning.

...let your backpack get the best of you.

 

...have a great day :)
