Analysis of Utah Landforms

I was lucky enough to have an enjoyable outdoor adventure this Spring Break. I also received four credits. Analysis of Utah Landforms was a sweet course taught by THE Genevieve Atwood. We traveled all over utah analyzing landforms. 

Nicholas, Sharon, and I deep in Granite Canyon within the Deep Creek Range in western Utah, near the Nevada border. 

Granite Canyon demonstrated a delightful igneous intrusion, which has been exposed thanks to the spreading of the Basin and Range. 

Genevieve "coaching" my sketch of Round Mountain. 

Gotta love the river. And my hat. Gotta love my hat. 

Nicholas and I pose while Sharon looks across the book cliffs. Camping that night, a pack of coyotes stopped by, howling extremely loud. Coyotes don't even howl, i'd call it more of a shrieking scream.

Legislative Adventures pt. 2

Brian and I posing with some spectacular Reps. The giant is Larry Wiley. On the left is Assistant Minority Whip Carol Spackman Moss known for her chatty-cathy personality. On the right is Janice Fisher. Rep. Fisher lives life to the fullest and drives a blue Ford Mustang.

I interned for Representative Karen Morgan. She represents Cottonwood Heights and both Big and Little Cottonwood canyons. (GO ALTA!) She's a huge champion of public education. Easily the nicest lady in the Legislature. She's recently announced her candidacy for the State Senate. I'm managing the field operations for the campaign. We're going up against a two-term Republican. An intense race for sure. 

Check out her awesome hat. That was my gift to her at the end of the session. It's harder than you think to find a blue cowboy hat in Salt Lake City. Thank you Little America Gift Shop! I'm sure Karen hasn't taken it off since....

Some of the House Democrat Interns. Last night of the session. We were there till 1:30 pm. Tired but still smiling.
