Camping trip June 13-16th 2009

We had a very nice week-end camping. We were supposed to go to Vernal and camp with Trevell and Carien and family. But the weather was going to be to rainy and cold so we decided to go south were the climate was warmer right? Wrong! We ended up at Kolob Resivor down by Zions National Park. We drove to Lava Butte look out and took some pictures of the back side of Zions Park. It was cold. But the scenery was beautiful. Teresa, Tim, Brooklyn and Carson came by Saturday night and we had a nice dinner. Then Darve and Joanie stopped by for 10 or 15 minutes.
Sunday we took a 4 wheeler ride up around Cedar Mountain. Again scenery was beautiful but cold. As you can see from the pictures the wild flowers were out in full bloom. There is an island in the middle of the lake. Would have been fun to have had a canoe. We left Monday morning and headed to Teresas' to wash two blankets that KaChing threw up on...Yuck!!! She must have found some dead fish or fish guts that made her sick. We then headed for the famous Mormon Honey Moon Trail. We were going to ride up the trail Tuesday, but I had such a bad headache that we decided against it. Besides it looked like it was going to rain again. Camping by the trail was nice. No traffic, and it was warm warm warm....In one of the pictures you see the camper and truck stuck in red sand. Lucky for us Tim came with his Tahoe and pulled us out. We drove Tuesday on over to Fredonia and then on down Highway 89. We stopped in Kanab and toured one of the old time cowboy movie sets . We played tourist. Then we went on down to Pink Coral Sandunes State Park. Thinking that we would stay the night and then ride some of the trails there. But having the experience of getting stuck in sand we couldn't find a solid piece of ground to camp on so we drove on down 89 and on home. Oh by the way it rained on and off all the way home....
