Wasatch Mountains..
I'm rucking near Park City, UT last week, freezing my dick off. Three below, wind, snow, all of it.. In an attempt to distract myself from the cold, I decide to learn about the area. The first (and resulting last) thing I look up is the origin of the word "Wasatch.."

Gives you some perspective while freezing your dick off, huh? Or, if nothing else, a sense of connection to those who came before you.

Wintex at Camp Williams in Jan/Feb... no warm house to go back to, just a tent or snow hole... go higher in the range, and the windchills get to -30F... fun times on Ramer skis.
