Up the canyon.

Not that I'm complaining, but it's hot. Well, I am complaining, but only incidentally. My point is really that in the heat, it's a really good idea to leave the oven of the valley, and ascend to the tops of the mountains, or at least the canyons among them.

The historian's son was the originator of this perfectly timed and wonderful idea. We drove down to their house, then we all drove together up American Fork Canyon, to put our feet in the creek and find kindling and build a little fire and make s'mores.

It was beautiful. It was so much cooler. We had such a good time.
