Skyline Drive Trip

Jerry and I talked Curt into being our guide today for another trip up Manti Mountain. Rather than head home this morning, we decided to go on a ride. We left around 9:30 a.m. and got back about 3:30 p.m. It was quite a trip. Curt took us on two trails that were difficult at times, but we loved it. I was really happy that I wasn't driving.

We put about 51 miles on our bikes and saw some beautiful scenery. The picture is above Palisades Campground. We traveled along Skyline Drive and down Manti Canyon. We missed going to the Milky Falls, but that's another trip.

Lately, every trip that we have taken on our four-wheelers has been in Manti. The mountain is beautiful and there are so many places to visit.

Four Wheeler Buddies

Manti Poker Run and Scavenger Hunt

We traveled to Manti this weekend to participate in the Manti Poker Run and Scavenger Hunt. We parked at the Manti City Park and spent two nights. Logan thought it was terrible to camp there. Anyway, we went with our sand dune buddies. We had a pretty big crowd. This is the fourth year that they have done the poker run and it keeps getting bigger. Friday, we had a nice dinner and entertainment. Jerry and I won a gift certificate for $25 and a thumb assist for a four-wheeler. On the poker run we won a 12 inch dutch oven.

We had quite an adventure on Saturday. Our guide's bike ended up with a flat tire, so we had a different guide coming back and he got lost two times. I was beginning to wonder if we would make it back to Manti. I'm not sure if we will go back next year or not, since we have other trips planned.

The preceding pictures are just a few of the items that we had to find on our scavenger hunt.

Manti Ride

On July 28, we went on a four wheeler trip on the Manti-LaSal Mountains. We went with Kurt and Becky Kjar. Kurt was our guide. It was so much fun. We traveled the Patton Trail. We had lunch at Logger's Reservior. I invited my sister, Tanya and her boys to ride along with us. I was really proud of the way she handled the trail.

On our trip we visited the Nielson Cabin, which is historical, and registered with the state. Lacey's Grandpa Duncan helped to build the cabin, so it was really neat to visit.
