ATV Adventure

Brandi's family has planned an annual ATV trip for the past 3 years. This year was my first chance to join them, and what a blast!!! Pacie and Gavin were able to come along, and we had a great time together. Total, we had about 15 people who went. There were 2 side x side wheelers, 7 four-wheelers, and 1 motorcycle. Brandi was such a big sport and a HUGE help to all of us. Each night, she pulled our trailer with her Dad's truck and met us at our planned camp spots. She hauled everyone's tents, sleeping bags, dutch oven cookers, gas, etc. It was particularly nice for me since it meant I had a trailer to sleep in and and I got to see Brandi.



We started out driving the ATVs right out of Richfield into the west mountains. We then turned south and traveled along the mountain eventually dropping down by Fremont Indian State Park and then further south up into the mountains known as "Kimberly". After riding about 53 miles the first day, we met up with Brandi and camped the first night.




















On the second day, we took a side-trail that took us up onto some of the highest peaks in the area. Known as "the baldies", they are named that because they are above the tree line. It was an awesome trail and had great scenery from the top. After returning to the main trail, we continued our ride which took us up over the top of the Tushar Mountains and down to Puffer Lake where Brandi met us for the night. As we were going over the top of the Tushars, we saw a heard of mountain goats which was very cool. Puffer Lake sits high up in the mountains above Beaver near Elk Meadows ski resort. Having traveled about 45 miles for the day, we camped there for the 2nd night.







On Saturday morning, it was time to head for home. Pacie headed home with Brandi and Seth while Gavin and I carried on. We dropped back down the mountain to the town of Junction. We then headed north and back to the east up onto the Monroe mountains, across the top, down Cove Mountain and back to Richfield. It was a killer day...when it was all done, we rode 100 miles that day bringing the grand total for the trip at almost exactly 200 miles.




We had an amazing time. Gavin and Pacie were troopers and they had a blast. In fact, Pacie may have had more fun than anyone. There were many times when we were driving along in the Teryx and I'd look over to see Pacie singing away and waving her hands. It only took 3 showers and a box of q-tips to get all the dirt out of my ears. It was the first time in my life that I actually had to follow the directions on the shampoo bottle that says "lather, rinse, and repeat"...I actually had to repeat.
