I'm in Enoch, Utah, at my sister's house for Thanksgiving.  The elevation is near 5600 and it's COLD!!  But my run was good.  I tried to map out a course before I left, but it took less than a quarter mile before I took a wrong turn.  In my "defence" there was a fence in the way.  So I just started winging it.  I saw some people.  They were friendly.  There were more hills than I'm used to running.  I ran down Enoch Rd. and saw what I thought was my turn, but I wasn't sure, so I kept running.  Then I saw another turn and thought that might be it.  But I kept running.  Finally I decided to turn around and take that second turn.  It led to a well station.  I could see the other road that I needed to be on and I saw a dirt road that I thought would connect, so I ran on that for a while.  Then I realized it wasn't going to connect and the ravine was too deep and muddy, so I just backtracked and went back on to the the first road.  That's how I realized I messed up because there was a wire fence going across the road.  Luckily it was just one strand so I went under it.  It was a nice adventure.

Well done Burt! I'm so proud of you for finding your way back.

I once was lost and now I'm found. Must be Utah.

Glad you found your way home. Sounds like we are both up here in UT freezing. Why I left the perfect weather of AZ I don't know.

I didn't run today until 11am, and it was actually nice. But I forgot to blog about it!!!!! Thanks for the reminder.
