ATV's


Dave and Jill invited us up to Kamas on Saturday for lunch and the chance to drive their atv's up behind the Soapstone area. What a wonderful time we had. Neither Lee nor I had ever driven them before but with a little instruction from Jill we were off and running. Dave led us up into some absolutely gorgeous places. As we drove higher the snow became deeper but slushy. Instead of going up and over, we turned back. Dave and Jill wanted to pull an atv out of a bog that another person had left there. We could tell that he had done everything he could to get himself out but the mud was too deep. When the guys came back with a truck, Dave had Jill move into position to attach the winch onto the other atv and pulled it out with ease. In the meantime 4 other atv's tried to pass our parked vehicles and got stuck in the snow. We had quite a convention up there on top of the mountain.




Dave also got a new quilt from his quilting sister. It is perfect for the cabin.




The drive down was smooth and easy going except when trying to move through the slushy snow--then they had a mind of their own as to which way they wanted to go. I tried to remember what I learned about driving through snow in drivers ed. But it didn't have quite the same effect with these machines.

We took a different path on the way down that was strewn with rocks and water. This really jiggled my britches trying to keep to the road and out of the way of rocks and trying to keep my shoes clean.

We had an awesome ride. Thanks Dave and Jill
We returned to the cabin and dinner. What could be better than great company, good food and a fun ride?

Well. . . . it could have been better if Mary and Joe had been there. But, unfortunately, we were forced to go to Las Vegas and see Donny and Marie. And it was a great show, but not near as great as it would have been watching Laurie and Lee navigate their first time on an ATV. I, of course, am an old hand as we were introduced a year ago to the ATV world by David and Jill. We'll make it next time!!
