After almost a month since the last time I spent some time exploring Utah on the back of an ATV, I decided to pickup David on Saturday morning and head to the Moab Utah area with the ATVs. (OK, so it was actually David’s idea.) For the fourth time this year, we parked in the […]

It was Labor Day and what I consider the end of Summer. Now begins a time of mourning and a time of panic. Winter looms on the horizon. The question is, how many more Utah trips can I squeeze in before the snow flies? Monday morning, I loaded up my Ford Explorer Sport with my wife, my […]

It was decided that I needed a vacation. Weekend trips were no longer doing the job. My wife was going to drive her folks to California to visit relatives there and provide a ride back to Utah for the relative’s son. The thought of them going alone sounded a little scary so I volunteered to drive our Ford […]

Somehow, the calendar is reporting that it is the middle of August which means summer is quickly burning to an end. How is this possible — so soon?! It is plain to see that my ratio of mind-numbing 8 to 5 “work” versus “fun” time is seriously whacked. Somehow, I managed to hold on until the weekend again. […]

In spite of a “chance” of rain in the weather forecast, David and I hooked up the ATV trailer to my Ford Explorer and headed for Moab Utah anyway. After all, it was Saturday and a day decompressing on the ATVs was more important than a little rain. Just before entering the town of Moab, […]

I had Friday off from work and you would have thought that I could of planned a long weekend trip to some distant part of Utah. Instead, I spent a good part of the day digging up my sprinkler system to repair a leak. By the time the leak was repaired and I had cleaned […]

The weatherman was calling for a chance of showers which meant that Saturday might be a little cooler than normal. That was all the excuse I needed to load up the ATVs, pickup my brother, David and head south Saturday morning. However, our trip was delayed an hour in Spanish Fork Canyon for a bad […]

Pioneer Day was Saturday, July 24th and I spent the day with my family at my wife’s family reunion held in Spanish Fork Utah. I was in charge of taking pictures and helping where I could with the on-site details. It was a long day. The next day I decided I needed to spend some […]

It was Saturday and my ATV was repaired. It was time to head south for a day of exploring in spite of the summer heat. David and I drove my Explorer down to the north end of the San Rafael Swell near Castle Dale Utah and then south down Buckhorn Draw to a side canyon […]

Saturday was expected to be hot (85 to 95 degrees) but that was slightly cooler than a couple of weeks earlier. The day was also forecast for a chance of scattered showers and some clouds. With one of my ATVs still waiting for repair parts, that meant any exploring of southern Utah would be mostly from my […]
