AM - 10 miles. Soft surfaces and easy pace were the goals for this morning, so we went to Dimple Dell park. It was a really nice run. I may have kicked the 5:20 guy's butt yesterday, but the 9:00 guy almost got us today :-) 

PM - 5.5 miles easy. What a nice afternoon! 

Let's develop everything! Seriously, a 200 home development in Cardiff Fork? Has anyone that supports this idea ever been in Cardiff Fork? It is paradise... especially in the winter. I get so mad about this stuff!

Jake-

I work at a real estate brokerage and listen to proposed deals like this a lot. Your comment is spot on. The abundance of moronic developers and the areas they decide to "improve" with their projects is often maddening.

I know I'm a bit biased as I want access for skiing and outdoor recreation... and I definitely respect private property and the right for owners to do as they want with what they own... but at the same time, I wish some of these folks just looked at the bigger picture once in a while.

I hear you about this Jake - we have the same problem down here with the desert. When I was a kid, they (whoever "they" is) promised to not develop up above the Green Springs golf course and protect the desert there; now there is 3 more miles up into the desert - and that is just one example. People down here who want the development say that it is just stupid tortoise habitat, but it is a lot more than that... and that narrow minded thinking is what has led us into all the problems we face now anyway.

On another note - I love Dimple Dell, my in-laws live just 1/2 mile from there so I always spend tons of time on those trails!
