Since the 4th of July was on a Sunday this year, both David and I had Monday off. We hooked up the ATV trailer to my Ford Explorer Sport and headed south. From Moore Utah we continued south until we crossed the I-70 freeway and the road turned to gravel. We continued south, still pulling […]

Saturday morning of the 4th of July weekend found my wife, my oldest daughter and myself in my Ford Explorer heading for the northwest corner of Utah. We wanted to visit the Utah-Idaho-Nevada tri-state border corner. First we drove north into Idaho and then west to the Burley/Rupert Idaho area. We arrived in Rupert just in […]

Saturday plans fell through at the last minute so in an effort to rescue at least part of the day, I drove down to Moore Utah by myself, to spend the day hunting Indian pictographs and petroglyphs. I wanted to visit (or re-visit) five different sites in approximately the same area. I managed to visit […]

The weekend was again forecast to be mostly rain and storm. However, David and I decided that if we took another Friday off from work, we might be able to slip in a full day on the ATVs before the main part of the storm covered all of Utah… again. Thursday afternoon, I received my […]

It was the Memorial Day weekend and time for the family tradition of a pilgrimage to the family cabin located on the mountain near Flaming Gorge Reservoir. There we attempt to stuff the entire extended family (at least those feeling up to the yearly challenge) into our four bedroom, two bath mountain cabin. This year […]

Another rain/snow storm was set to roll across the northern part of Utah so there was only one thing to do. Go south! David and I both took Friday off from our jobs and headed south in my Ford Explorer Thursday evening. Moab Utah didn’t have any motel rooms left so we ended up driving […]

Saturday, David and I took the ATVs to “The Wedge” on the northwest edge of the San Rafael Swell. We parked at a gravel road intersection several miles south of the main Buckhorn Draw/Wedge Road and country road 401 intersection. After unloading the ATVs, we drove them east past the campsites on the Lower Wedge Road, and […]

David and I had tried several times to take an ATV drive up Bull Canyon northwest of Moab Utah. However on our way there, we kept getting distracted by other areas we also wanted to explore. Saturday we made a focused effort to explore Bull Canyon. We parked at the bottom of the Little Canyon […]

It was May 1st and another rainy cold day in Utah Valley. I couldn’t stand the thought of another ruined Saturday so I jumped in my Ford Explorer and headed south looking for sunshine. I had planned on heading south on I-15 to Nephi Utah but habit made me turn off in Spanish Fork and […]

After being cold and stormy all week, Saturday promised sunny skies and warmer temperatures. Since the week of storms had missed the San Rafael Swell area in central Utah, David and I headed there Saturday morning in the Explorer and pulling the ATVs. We drove almost all the way to Green River Utah before pulling of the […]
