Interupting Horseshoes

Sparks flew as horseshoes collided with iron poles Sunday evening. Unfortunately the group of friends I played with wasn’t lucky enough to witness any ‘ringers’. Yet we were lucky enough to make it up to the Cook cabin with plenty of daylight to enjoy the fresh crisp air of Sundance Utah. This particular game of horseshoes had quite the unexpected start and interruption from some friendly creatures. As we ventured out to horseshoe pits in the back yard of the Cook cabin we were surprised to see they were already occupied by three deer that were enjoying a nice break-the-fast Sunday grazing session. It felt like elementary school all over again-when your group of friends was forced to confront the older grade to challenge them for complete control over the field during recess. We were a bit nervous to interrupt this peaceful site but we knew our daylight was limited and we wanted to make sure this game happened. The deer quickly noticed us encroaching on their space and chose to forfeit the backyard to allow us an enjoying game of horseshoes, or so we thought… Midway through the second game, we were caught way off guard as one brave deer returned to interrupt us by charging right through the two horseshoe pits! It’s too bad we didn’t have any sort of headlights to stop this deer in its tracks as it trampled around the backyard for another 15 seconds. All of us were forced to move in order to get out of this crazy deer’s rampage, but just as quickly as the deer came, it also left. Not everyone is able to start off their conversations saying their horseshoe game was interrupted by some wild deer, I feel fortunate being able to at least blog about it happening.
That deer was literally the only thing that interrupted a non-stop action packed weekend full of adventures from parties in Draper, BYU sport games, hot tubing, cabin fun, games, horseshoes, hiking Stewart falls, rock climbing, ward parties, and of course I can't forget the HBLL.
I felt like I needed to add a picture of some sorts, it had been a while. So enjoy a climbing pic of me pinching the Appendage up Rock Canyon.
