Ashlee at EFY and on her 50 miler

Ashlee went to Utah State in Logan for EFY. This was her 3rd and last time going. She loved the classes and had really fun counselors. She didn't enjoy the food, but the rest of it was so great that it made it her favorite year.

Savannah Slater and Ashlee
(Savannah moved here from Arizona about 5 years ago and she was Breanne's- Ashlee's cousin- best friend. Soon after moving here she and Ashlee became very good friends and about a year later discovered this connection.)

Ashlee returned from EFY on Saturday, June 20 and left the following Monday for her High Adventure 50 Miler with her Venture Crew. They did all 50 Miles over the course of 5 days in the beautiful mountains near our home. The hiked, mountain biked and rode mules to cover the 50 miles. (They actually went over and ended up with about 56 miles.)

They enjoyed many breath taking views. Beautiful mountains!!

Mike and I got to join them on their last day. (Mike, Ashlee, and I are in the center of this picture.) We went up Thursday night, camped with them and then biked with them the next day. We were going to bike and canoe, but it was too cold and and so we just biked further. We biked down from the Alpine summit and then down Provo Canyon. It was so much fun. I discovered I really enjoy mountain biking. It was pretty muddy because it was lightly raining and so it was a little slippery. It was beautiful though, we felt like we were biking through a rain forest.
