Tonight three of us went on an ATV trip to Two Top Mountain. I had not been there in 35-ish years, and have been looking forward to this for a long while. Brian and his friend Brent, drove and I rode on the back of Brian's.
The smell and sight of the flowers in the meadows on the way up was amazing. The views from the top were a little hazy from fires in Oregon, but breathtaking nonetheless.

| Geocache under the rock |
As I wandered around at the end of the trail, which actually ends before reaching either of the two tops, I stumbled upon a geocache. When we opened it up there was a bit of history.
There was a nice picture of several people in their riding gear with someone who had since died. There was a real nice monument to his memory not far from where the geocache was stowed. His name was Brad Hill.
What a great place for a memorial. Very thoughtful of people who miss him. A few minutes of searching on google yielded nothing to tell me about this man. He was 51. A mystery for now.

| Family Reunion of trees |
On the way back down we saw several groups of pine trees which appeared to be multi-generational. The ones in the very center were the tallest and some were dead, with a circle around them of shorter trees, encircled around the bottom by little trees. In between the circles there were trees of intermediate heights. They looked like they were having a family reunion.

I know who Brad Hill is. Him and his family were in the ward I grew up in. One of his daughters was my age and we hung out from time to time...I'll tell you more about him the next time I see you if you want. Just don't want to put personal info on the internet without his family's permission :)
