Juniperus Scopulorum










I went hiking yesterday to the fabled Jardine Juniper (the scientific name is Juniperus Scopulorum hence the title of this post)! The Jardine Juniper is supposedly the oldest tree in Utah because it is 3200 years old! I thought it was gonna be a really gnarly but it actually was real big and the hike to it was really awesome. There were some great views and me and my buddy threw a rock of a cliff and it took 7 whole seconds for it to hit the bottom, that's a big cliff!

All Hallows Eve

So Halloween this year was different. First of all I didn't go trick or treating, I haven't been able to get candy for along time now but I would usually take my little brothers trick or treating. But instead of that I worked in the Haunted House that the Valley View towers put on. The RA for my floor was one of the guys in charge of the haunted house so I got to be a scary guy. The house ran on Tuesday and Wednesday from 7 to 11 and it was free. I was kinda skeptical on how scary it was actually going to be but the guys in charge really knew what they were doing so the house went really great. We actually had to turn people away at 11.
