Adventure of the Day: Maple Canyon

So last Saturday several of us went down to Maple Canyon near Moroni Utah. Yes, it was an extremely urban adventure...

Maple Canyon's pretty sweet, and has nice short hikes. Here's a pic of me playing around on a waterfall. I didn't go all the way to the top this time - I did it the last time I was there, and didn't feel any pressing need to do it again.


Also, an update on law school: I'm 99% certain I'm going to be attending Texas Tech in Lubbock. I've decided this for several reasons, one of the primary being cost, but also being able to be near my sister Kristi and her family. In truth, New York really appealed, and California sounded good, but neither really felt right. This feels better, though I still have no desire to make a life in Texas.

The 1% doubt is in case a school in DC calls - I'm currently on a waiting list out there.

Update on my decision(s)

So to update everyone on my decision: It is now between Santa Clara and Texas Tech. I was accepted to Santa Clara last Monday, and I've been wrestling with the decision ever since.

Santa Clara is in the top 10 for Intellectual Property law, the area I intend to go into. But it's Mondo expensive (which is French for muy expensive).

Texas Tech is in the middle of nowhere Texas, but it's affordable (ie no debt when I get done) and my sister, brother-in-law, and nephew live there. On the downside, I don't have any great desire to move back to Texas with any sort of permanence.

So the question is, A) Will the increased price for school pay off with increased opportunities? B) If I attend Tech, will I be able to get a job out of state?

I plan to have made my decision by this weekend.

In other news, I read a sweet article about Gen Y today. Check it out.

Adventure of the Day: Rock Canyon

Yes, it's a very nearby adventure, but what makes it so great is once you get past the hustle and commotion of the lower trail, its conveniently close and quiet. I went all the way up to Rock Canyon campground, and just before reaching the campground saw an incredible view of Provo Peak covered in snow, with green hills and stream full of rapids just beneath. It was pretty dang sweet. I'd have taken a picture, but since all I had on me was a pair of shorts, shoes and a water bottle, this picture from last fall of the same peak (different angle) will have to do.
