Dr. Casey Peterson, associate dean of students in BYU Student Life, and Carson Peterson, recently returned missionary from the Singapore and California Ventura missions, and a freshman in his first semester at BYU, used the Labor Day weekend to gather their cows from their ranch in the mountains above Springville. This “labor” has been happening for the last six generations of Petersons every fall, using much the same methods of riding horses and moving the cows back to the valley for winter.

Flood damage scene, taken alongside the Saddle River in Lodi, New Jersey, on September 3, 2021. Water levels reached the top of the white fence; the owners are drying out equipment from their truck. Floodwaters brought random fallen logs to rest on top of the (then-submerged) white car.

My daughter and BYU freshman, Eliza, and I set out early Labor Day morning on our tandem kayak to explore the last two miles of the Provo River leading into Utah Lake. The water is slow moving and full of obstacles. At one point I had to climb over fallen limbs that partially blocked the channel, but we made it through to Utah Lake and back.

This channelized portion of the Provo River is not particularly scenic. Chunks of concrete line much of the bank, litter has accumulated in the water and many of the river banks are bare from foot traffic. However, we did encounter many mallard ducks, a blue heron and a whole community of swallow nests. I’m excited for the Provo River Delta Restoration Project that promises more wildlife habitat as well as places to paddle. Perhaps we can also lend a hand to make the river channel a little better too.

My daughter and I had a great weekend in northern California! We hit up the beach, Santa Cruz beach boardwalk, Children’s fairyland and much more! Above you’ll see me with the iconic Fenton’s Creamery’s famed "Black and Tan," which is the world’s best ice cream sundae. Truly. (Fenton’s is the ice cream parlor featured at the end of Pixar’s movie “Up”.)
