Fathers Day Weekend.

For Father’s Day we decided that we were going to take Matt camping. We reserved a little cabin at a place called “Lizzie and Charlies” in Marysvale,UT. Oh, and when I say little I mean little, big enough for a futon couch and a bed. As soon as we got there we unloaded the four-wheelers and got all of our stuff in the cabin. Then headed off on a trail called “Dear Creek “. We were only into the ride about 15 minutes when weather started to move in. We pulled over and put a tarp over the girls so that we could keep them dry. The rain only lasted for a little bit and soon we were riding again.One thing about Marysvale, it’s so beautiful. He are the girls and I standing in front of a huge river that runs along the city.

Here we are crossing a stream.We started to head up the mountain and were lucky enough to have cover under the tree’s when it started to Thunder. We had ponchos for the girls to put on, so we stopped, had snacks, and tried to wait the rain out. Justice has been anticipating a run in with a bear. I am very happy to say that we did not see any but we did manage to see a bears den and some deer. When we got back to camp that night Justice rode her four-wheeler around with her dad.

We got up early Sunday and headed out. This time we did Miners loop. This is where we encountered the “Cow”. There was a fence and you could see about 20 or so, bull and calfs behind this fence. In order to follow the trail you have to drive thru an opening in the fence and through all the cows. Well there was one cow that had somehow gotten out of the fence and was trying to get back in. Every time Matt would drive near the fence she would walk towards him. Eventually she got through and Matt and I were able to drive to the other side.
It took us a couple of hours to make it to the top. Here is a picture from the top. It was really pretty, but extremely cold and windy. There was quite a bit of snow at the top too. But all the trails were clear enough for us to make it without a problem.

We had a great time and will definitely do it again.
Happy Father’s Day Matt!!

I love camping. That sounded so fun especially since you guys have 4 wheelers and everything, I can't believe Justice can already ride one. It makes me want to go camping now, maybe I'll go plan a trip here soon.
