Aug. 3, 2011: Mikey, the mutts, and I spent two weeks in the Element visiting friends, camping, hiking, playing on the beach, and running around. We visited Amber and Ehsan (soon to have their first baby) in Salt Lake City and then Greg and Ali (whose little girl will turn 1 in a couple of months) in Davis, Calif. Then we headed up the coast into Oregon and Washington and finished with a return trip to Glacier National Park in Montana.
