Four wheelin' and campin'!

It's so much fun to get out in the mountains and get away. It's kind of a bit of work to prepare and all, but oh so worth the trip. We went this weekend with good friends and family. It was a GREAT trip. I can't believe I didn't get a picture of the trailer and campsite.

David's always good for a picture moment. This was at the top of a kind of scary ride. There was so much water every where. In this climb we rode up a road with water coming down it. Kind of like a little stream. The views were spectacular.

SEE! I always have to get my flowers in. This picture really doesn't do justice for the pretty purple, yellow and white flowers.

It's always good to have a map. It's even better to agree on where to go?

Serious contemplation! These are the times we really miss Duane!
We see some really pretty sites. Can you believe this wall of white.

Can you read this sign? Notice where it's telling us the road goes. It really goes the direction David is headed and goes right up a rocky stream bed.

Here are the "WHEELERS". What fun we had with our good friends. We saw everything; pine trees, snow, waterfalls, streams, flowers, deer, snakes, etc. It was a great ride. We were gone for 8 hours and did 39 miles.

The kids arrived Friday night and this is at the beginning of Saturday's ride. Tyler and David checking out the little stream. Yes, the water was cold.

Kevin; always the 'goof'. He is fun to have along. Jared's picking him up on the way down.

Tyler doing a little log throw. I missed this picture.

The kids were throwing rocks at Kevin to get him off balance. Didn't work.

Here we all are. Left to right: Christine, Tyler, Kevin, Jared, Leslie and Denise. David had to take the picture. I wish I had taken a picture of this stream just to the left. We crossed it earlier. Probably 20 to 30 feet wide. Leslie did it twice for Jared could get her picture.

When looking for a place to "do my thing" we found this man made latrene. Didn't dare use it. In fact, didn't dare go anywhere near it. I went the other way.

And here's this little "man cave". We didn't get too close just took pictures.

Kevin and Jared had races through the mud puddles on the way home. I think Kevin got the worst of it.

We had a great trip and it just got us more excited to get out this summer.
