Saturday we went to see the U2 360 tour, with tickets we bought 2 years ago. The original tour was canceled when Bono had to have back surgery. The wait was totally worth it. What a spectacle! Supposedly, this is the largest touring show ever, it takes 100 semi trucks to move it from place to place (I am still wondering if those trucks are bio-diesel or not, since U2 seems so environmentally concerned.)
The show was amazing! They really deliver. So often you here about big bands phoning it in, because people are willing to pay anything just to say they went to see them. The show really was incredible, it's hard to describe in words and blurry cell phone photos.
The fun continued on Sunday with a hike up to the Lime Kiln in Granite Falls. We left late and got there about 11:30 and there were several other cars on the trail. We did meet several other folks on the trail and one couple really freaked out Tim Tim and he managed to get out of his harness, but he came right back as soon as the people continued up the trail.
The weather was perfect, maybe a little too warm, at least out in the sun. There was one area where there has been a slide in the recent past that was a little tricky to navigate, especially with a dog hooked to your waistbelt. The lime kiln itself was really interesting, it's strange to think there was a thriving town out there in the middle of nowhere, and now you can only get there on a foot path.
