There I found the old 1857 Provo Canyon Guard Quarters, built during the Utah War and then manned for a while to monitor Native activities in the region. I also got in a good schwack and sliced my leg up on the scrub oak. It had been a while, I figured.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">This run was particularly soul-invigorated.
