The days are getting shorter and cooler so David and I decided it was time to head to southern Utah for a couple of days of exploring the canyons. We both took Friday off from our jobs (again) and drove down to Blanding Utah on Thursday night. Inasmuch as the “tourist season” is over and […]
Heaven Arch in the San Rafael Swell
Saturday morning found David and myself in the Explorer, pulling the ATVs on the trailer and heading for the northeast side of the San Rafael Swell. After refueling in Wellington Utah, we drove southeast towards Green River Utah and exited the highway just a few miles after Woodside Utah. We then drove west to the old […]
Richfield World Record ATV Parade
Wednesday, September 16th, I left work early so my wife and I could drive down to Richfield Utah with our ATVs, to take part in an attempt at the Guinnese Book of World Records for the “Worlds Biggest ATV Parade”. The previous record was 1632 ATVs at a parade in Minnesota. The Richfield Utah parade […]
Segers Hole
Monday was Labor Day and I had taken my wife, one daughter and one brother, David to the family cabin near Flaming Gorge Reservoir for the long weekend. That meant that the following work week was only four days long. Somehow, that seemed like a long four days. Still Saturday did finally roll around which […]
Return to the Moab Slickrock Country
David and I again took a Friday off from our separate jobs so we could spend Friday and Saturday exploring southern Utah on the ATVs. This time we headed south on Friday morning and stopped in Moab Utah long enough to pickup gas and food. We also reserved a room at the local Motel 6 […]
Once More into Oak Creek
Thursday evening after work, David and I loaded up tent, sleeping bags and ATVs before heading south to the east side of Boulder Mountain (again) south of Torrey Utah. Before midnight we had set up camp at the Oak Creek Campground on the east side of Boulder Mountain and were enjoying a beautiful cool evening. […]
Oak Creek Canyon and Painful Stones
Saturday finally rolled around after a LONG work week. David and I grabbed the ATVs and headed back to the east side of Boulder Mountain south of Torrey Utah. The hot weather had cooled off at least 10 degrees and there was even a chance of rain in the northern part of the state. We […]
Rosebud Trail and Pleasant Creek
It was Saturday again and it promised to be hot everywhere in Utah again. In an effort to avoid the heat problems that we experienced the previous week, David and I decided to look for higher and cooler country in southern Utah to explore. Saturday morning we hooked up the trailer with the ATVs and headed […]
White Wash Sand Dunes & TenMile Canyon
It was finally Saturday again and time for me to get out of town for the day and mentally/emotionally/spiritually decompress. This time David and I loaded up the ATV’s and headed to an area between Moab and Green River Utah. The main problem that we would be facing would be the summer heat. It was […]
Yellowcat and the Poison Strip
It was almost the end of June and Utah has been getting hit with day after day of rain. North of Utah County, the rains are at times heavy but down here it mostly dribbles and ruins outdoors plans. The nice part of this is that I haven’t had to do much yard work like […]
