Spring Break - Temple Mt. Ride

The above pictures are from a couple trail rides we took at Little Wild Horse Canyon. The trail was nice and easy....my kind of trail. One of the rides went around Temple Mountain. It was a beautiful 80 minute ride. Around this mountain were several Uranium mines and dwellings. It was a nice ride before we packed up and headed home.

Spring Break - Little Wild Horse Canyon

Our Campsite

We traveled after Goblin Valley to a canyon towards the west. I think it is called "Little Wild Horse Canyon." We were told that we could camp here and it was free. Yippee! We found an awesome spot. We had this large area all to ourselves. Our truck, fifth-wheel trailer and four-wheeler trailer. What a site we were. Nathan does a great job towing. I don't look.

This was a terrific spot to camp and ride the four-wheelers. The dogs could even run on their own. We did have to tie them up a couple of times because other campers down the road let their dogs run all over. Our dogs at least stayed with us. Yes, this place had great rocks. Kyle made his own fire pit (throne). We found some great rocks to add to our collection. I love the sandstone. I didn't know their were so many colors of brown.

Spring Break - Goblin Valley

GOBLIN VALLEY

Wednesday, April 7th we checked out of Arches Campground and headed toward Goblin Valley.

The state park campground was full, but we still stayed for a while to view the amazing goblins across the land. I've never seen such a site. So fun. We climbed and walked around the area. This would be a fun place to re-visit.

Spring Break - Moab

"OH MY HEC!!!"

Nathan and Kevin went for a early ride on the four-wheelers. Kyle and I stayed at the trailer with the dogs. Then we had some surprising visitors.....The Daniel Troops had arrived. Devin and Michael had their jeeps and wanted us to venture with them on the Moab rocks. Kyle went with them. I waited for Nathan and Kevin to get back from their Gemini Arch trip. Nathan, Kevin and I later met up with Bill, Jen, McKay, Kyle, Devin, Colton, and Michael. I wanted to watch them ride up and down the rocks, but they wouldn't hear of that. They made me get in the jeep. I got in.
We got in the jeeps. Buckled our seat belts and climbed the biggest rocks I've ever seen. My seat belt was very tight. I made sure of it. Nathan, Bill, McKay, and Kyle went in Devin's Jeep. Colton, Kevin, Jen, and I went in Michael's jeep. They wanted me to sit in the front, but I let Colton so he would have leg room. I'm so nice.
The ride was amazing. I don't think I ever stopped talking. Poor Jen. She had to listen to my nervous jabber. Poor Kevin. I had one hand on the hand rest-handle-thing and the other hand grabbing his pant leg. I can't believe that any vehicle can climb and descend like that. How does that work? I don't get it, but I do know we came out of there alive.
This ride was longer than any amusement park ride I've ever been on. But Kyle said it seemed pretty short to him.

WOW!!!

Spring Break - Arches

Arches National Park

Today we explored Arches and then Nathan and Kevin went four-wheeling to find Gemini Arch on a trail just south-west of our camp. These pictures are taken before my camera batteries died. We went to Delicate Arch, but the parking lots were too full so we went on to the observation trail for Delicate. Not as nice, but we still could see it from a distance. Arches National Park is amazing! I wish we spent more time there.

Spring Break Day 2

Heading toward Moab. We had reservations at Arch View Campsite. We stayed here for three nights. Hook-ups - water, power, cable. Heaven....

Spring Break

Day 1 and 2
Green River, Utah

Heading south, thinking we'd be in a warmer place. Well, true....most of the time.

We headed toward Green River on Saturday, April 3rd. We stayed in the KOA. There were hook-ups so we were liv'n in style. We set up camp and then Nathan and the boys found a church to watch the Priesthood session that evening. The camp hosts let us stay after noon so that we could watch conference on Sunday morning.
