the usual

 Having learned from experience to avoid final evening holiday traffic (the pinchpoint in Spanish Fork Canyon where northbound goes from two lanes to one), we stayed all day on Monday, getting up wicked early Tuesday to make the drive back to SLC.  That gave Milton and me plenty of time for a Millcreek hike: H dropped us off and then picked us up afterwards, thoughtfully arriving with beers and dog biscuits for some leisurely parking lot apres.  We had the canyon all to ourselves on the outbound trip to the hitching post, met a couple of hikers in the upper canyon and then a few more, with dogs, in the lower part.  Milton also found something dead to roll in so I had to scrub him down with sand in the creek; he didn't love that but it did de-stinkify him for the most part.

Nice morning light
