March Comes to an End

I realized that if I wanted to get anything more done this month I had about an hour to do it. I've almost forgotten how to enter a new post. March flew by. Maybe it was because of all the wind we had.
Last Wednesday we went with friends on a 4 wheeling ride out near the Pink Coral Sand Dunes.
Laron & Linda, Lee & Klea, Karl & Terrie, Kenneth & Venna, and Chuck & I.

We revisited the Ponderosa Campground--
where we camped and went on many jeep trips in the good ole days.

8 miles out--looking to the West

Oops! That's why Lee didn't make it to the lookoff.
He blocked the road so that we wouldn't leave him there.
Chuck went back to the truck after his trusty toolbox.
The rest of us had lunch.

The bolts were sheared off the thingy that holds the wheel on.
The guys used their good looks and mechanical abilities (and tool box supplies)to attach the wheel back on to continue the ride. Klea wanted to know if the job came with a warranty.

We rode over hill and dell to get to the lookout toward the East. We could see Kanab.
The sandstone rock formations were interesting and enchanting too. It was kind of like being in Gnomesland.

This picture was disappointing--it makes the road/trail look way easy to climb and go back down. I got out of the Rhino and climbed the hill on foot, so I was darn sure to ride on the way down. Terrie screamed, but she stayed in. All four wheels were not touching the ground at the same time.
We stopped at Little Creek Station for supper. Some of the savvy ones in the group called their orders in on their cell phones. The rest of us waited a long time for the good food.
We've made plans for another riding trip soon. Laron has planned for the Lake Powell area.
It's great to have good friends!
I think it strengthens a relationship to be with other couples. I'm so glad to have such a good guy for the other half of my couple!
