    Richter is always on the lookout for Dracula, but never fights him because he's dead, but along the way he has to deal with bullshit

    Basically, life is what happens while you're making other plans.

    Good plan by the rangers to put their best scorers on the blue line taking low danger shots from the perimeter with the goalie pulled and under a minute left in an elimination game???

    And then there were two. The Stanley Cup Final begins on Wednesday. All games start at 8PM ET.

    In the United States, all games air on ABC, and stream on ESPN+

    In Canada, all games air on CBC and Sportsnet, and stream on CBC Gem and Sportsnet NOW.

    This cup final has the chance to be exceptional. Probably the two best teams in the league.

    Tampa has done something not seen in the league in almost 40 years. The last time a team went to three straight Stanley Cup Finals was the Edmonton Oilers in 1983, 1984, and 1985.

    Oh and Patrick Maroon is in the Stanley Cup Final for the 4th straight year. That hasn't been done since a few of the New York Islanders players in the 1980-1983 streak.

    This much I think we know. In the Rondo -> Symphony arc, Dracula actually gets resurrected twice. If Netflix chooses to bring Dracula back, I think, dramatically speaking, they can only do it once, at most, for this set of characters. The only way I see around that is if Richter puts down Dracula very fast the first time, even to the point of being a flashback.

    But as pointed out, Dracula X Alucard is well trod ground at this point in the Anime, so I don't think they will revisit that heavily in this round. Basically I'd say we can safely eliminate most of the story of the inverted castle, which leaves more focus on Richter's corruption, assuming they don't just go off and do something completely different.

    I'm moving away from northern Utah in the near future and decided to do some final hiking today as the balmy 60 °F that came with a recent cold front and rain showers is the coolest the area is going to be for a while. Went to the local favorite Wind Caves, which are windy, but were formed by water erosion, not wind. On the way up and down, saw some wildflowers.

    QNiVdG1.jpg?1

    Some fuzzy creatures.

    Dt3DfOZ.jpg?2

    And of course the Wind Caves themselves.

    nWECvjE.jpg?1

    https://youtu.be/298maw__-cc

    A nice feature of the trail is that you come up on top of the caves just before it leads you to their back entrance so you get a beautiful panorama view of the pass.

    mbejNec.jpg

    The mountains on the other side are just kissing the clouds today, but sometimes the clouds drop lower and you can end up hiking through them. If you look at the center, you see a rock wall that another trail follows along the top of. If I'm not sore tomorrow, I might do that trail after work before things heat up again.

    Without diving too far into it, since you know it is his personal life and his decisions to make. He's been dating the same girl since not long after he was drafted. So even if the video was say, a couple years ago, it's not pre-girlfriend. The McDavid in the video is definitely a McDavid as he looks now, beard, hair, etc. No way it is pre-girlfriend since it can't e 7+ years old.

    But, regardless of that. McDavid is a grown ass man who can make grown ass mistakes. As long as he's not, you know, abusing anyone, or doing anything real bad, if he wants to risk throwing away a 7+ year relationship, that's his business.

    Let me tell you about my friend Jack Daniels.

    Really though, that's also why I believe the video is recent. These guys all treat their bodies like temples for the entire season, and especially after a long playoff run they're back at full training within a few weeks, probably before the end of June they're back to full time training. So, season ends, the guys might party a bit harder, have a little more fun than they otherwise would during the season for a couple weeks before they get back to training in July for next season.

    I did it last night. It took me three because I was literally two points away from unlocking the last thingy I needed for 18. So it was like, 10, 17, 18. Once I found a good strat on youtube it actually wasn't too bad (my go-to channel didn't post one, I'm sad). I like that I could do it with only four operators. This is what I ended up using:

    Got that second hike in today. The Crimson Trail takes you up to the top of the stone wall you can see in the distance in the final image of my previous post and is essentially the top and sides of a rectangle where a second trail called the Riverside Trail is the base of the rectangle. You can walk the loop in either direction and each direction gives a different experience. Today, I stated up the right side of the rectangle directly on the Crimson Trail. There's a stream at the trail start that feeds into the Logan River that winds through the bottom of the canyon.

    kuskqAZ.jpg?1

    Saw a bunch of flowers that I didn't see on the other side of the canyon which I thought was interesting.

    a5n1n9Y.jpg?1

    Z5pCDhk.jpg?1

    Also this butterfly that decided the best way to flee from me was to simply move a little farther down the trail several times in a row. Spoiled for bug.
    LqokRl3.jpg?1

    Because you eventually walk on top of the wall, you don't get a good view of it once you're on the wall, but there are some nice vistas on the approach.

    HdKsPMX.jpg?1

    Once you get to the top, its a beautiful view of the canyon in both directions. You might be able to make out the Wind Cave in the top left of the below image.

    Z8RgUV9.jpg

    The hike to get to the top is not easy but not overly strenuous either. Where things get exciting is on the descent. The left side of the rectangle is located at a break in the rock wall. Instead of a sheer stone cliff, you get a slightly less sheer dirt/rock path. The steep path drops you fast. The image below is me a few feet away from the rock wall looking up after only about a minute on the path down.

    ZA7apa5.jpg?1

    The way down is a work out and is a particular adventure for your thighs and knees. I slipped a couple of times on the way down although I will admit to wearing sneakers and not hiking boots. I've gone in the reverse direction once and the hike up this way is brutal. I do want to note that I saw not one but two people jogging in reverse direction as me on the trail, meaning they came up this path, and one of those was literally jogging up this path as I was on the way down. Damn those people were in shape.

    Saw a fresh fawn on the way. Didn't see the mother but that's likely by design.

    pQAsHRQ.jpg?1

    The end of the descent is the Riverside Trail that follows the road and the river back to the trailhead. Caught sight of a family of ducks.

    VSkDD5J.jpg?1

    And finally got a nice closing view of the river via a bridge over it.

    901h8JL.jpg?1

    There's an easier but much longer trail farther up the canyon that leads to a 1500+ year old jardine juniper tree. We're hitting 90's Fahrenheit over the weekend, but there will be a last gasp of 70's early next week where I might take one final hike to go there.
