Hard to say. You're right on the cusp as far as mosquitoes go. Mostly folks are surprised with our very low humidity. I'd go with what Our Crazy Bunch said and add a constant bottle of water/person.

Hi Utah Boxing Friends! I know we met several of you when we were in SLC a few years back, and we had a great time. We'll be spending the better part of a day in St. George visiting friends over Memorial weekend (we'll be in Vegas for most of the trip...

Following this as I will be in St. George in October for a day

This Saturday is TrailFest 2017. It is to promote the Centennial Trail, the trail system that surrounds Ogden: Weber River Parkway, Ogden River Parkway and the Bonneville Shoreline Trail. Other than discovering new places to hide letterboxes this wou...

Alright - so this won't occur until next April, but I'm always one to plan and prepare an awesome trip! Honeymama and I will be staying in the Moab area next April from around the 14th to the 22nd (maybe a day or two earlier / later depending on the b...

We live in CA so I'm of no help but... Why not make it a full fledged event? We would come because Moab is one of my favorite towns in the world!

An awesome idea that I would gladly help contribute to, but... I live in Massachusetts! I wouldn't be able to plant much of anything ahead of time since we're spending most of the trip in the National Parks. Someone at the Oregon event that I just we...

Hmmm, next April...I will have to figure out if I will be around to put together an event. I held a fun gathering in Moab in 2005, and it is certainly is about time to do it again... Next April we are going on a rafting trip in the Grand Canyon for a...

We actually booked our tickets, car, and cabin last night. We'll be in Moab from April 15th through the 21st (the 14th and 22nd are driving to / away from the area). If you want to / can make it happen with your schedule, let me know and I'll carve s...

Yesterday (Friday) I went to the new Hobby Lobby in Riverdale. They carry carving material! It is in the back almost straight in from the front door, two aisles north of the restrooms. They carry three sizes of Speedy Carve (pink), up to 6×12 ($21.9...

While reading the Facebook page for Riverdale I saw this Proposal for Soccer Fields. I'm the only one with letterboxes in the (potentially) affected area, but I wanted others to know about it. (The other letterboxes nearby are by the sundial which pr...

Interesting. I saw a similar article in a recent Standard-Examiner. I thought they were talking about a different area along the Weber River Parkway and didn't connect it to your series near the disc golf course. The Riverdale Fb page has better info o...

Ooh, I want to find night-boxes!

I always thought that area would be great for a night boxing series, but I never got around to making it. I agree with The Gingerbread Man, I want to find night-boxes! But if my experience of night caches then I won't do well with night boxes either....

I just found out today about a plan by Nordic Valley to expand from 140 acres to over 2,800 acres. This will include expanding over the mountain into North Ogden. If their plans are approved, construction will start in 2020. I don't know yet what I...

I think it's an overly ambitious expansion. With Snow Basin close by, I'm not sure the area can support another large ski area. From what I've read in the newspaper, the locals are mostly against it. I'm OK with the Forest Service's ownership of the mo...

I actually found out about it from posts by Meg Sanders (who is opposed to the proposal) on Weber Pathways and Ogden Trails Network made on 7 August. I expect that Nordic Valley had to make a public proposal for public review before the Forest Service...

I found this video linked from the [Ogden City Facebook] page. It is a 360° view of this location from a drone. It is a video worth seeing. In case you want to know how to get to this location, start at the Maple Trailhead, at the northwest corner o...

Lovely! How difficult a hike is it?

Open Street Map gives distances in metric, so I'll give its values first. From Maple Trailhead to Ogden Canyon Overlook: Distance: 4.2km. Time: 0:51. Ascend: 287m. Descend: 76m. English units: Distance: 2.6 miles Time: For me a few hours Ascend: 941...

Thanks for the unit conversion. I'm assuming that's 2.6 mi & 941 ft elevation gain one way? Hmmm, pretty long & steep for this old body. 8~P But the other area LBers are in much better condition than I. So go ahead and plant!

Not this letterboxer. I’m too fat and weak for hikes. But since you said you’d plant it near the trailhead, I can probably handle it.

Ah, yes, I could do near the TH!

Not this letterboxer. I’m too fat and weak for hikes. You should see me. You can probably do more than you think you can if you have the right hiking companion. On a geocaching trip in 2015 (pretty sure) I did 2200 ft elevation gain and over 5 miles...

I also have chronic health issues, so overexertion can land me in bed for a week. But letterboxing does manage to get me hiking. I hate hiking. I want to be in the forest without having to put out effort to get there. :) Heading up letterboxing in Boi...

I hate hiking. I want to be in the forest without having to put out effort to get there. :) I agree. The superpower I'd like to have is either super-speed, teleportation, or even if I could only teleport to a place where I've been before (then walk th...

"Like". That's beautiful.

I was geocaching in the Salt Lake City Cemetery yesterday (Saturday) and came across a pouch made of camo duct tape. Two of the corners of the pouch had been chewed through, probably by a mouse. It had a paper in it identifying it as a letterbox, but...

Ogden has a web site to view and comment on the Ogden City Transportation Master Plan.

As part of a state road sign postal ring I carved Utah. If you are interested in planting it in Utah let me know. Just send via AQ a mailing address.
