Mountain Man Marathon and Misc. ATV photos

Our ATV's ready for an overnight camping Trip in Showlow, Arizona

This was during a 4 day ride with a group of friends. Dad is in the background in the white helmet and red jacket.

These were taken when we rode in  the Mountain Man Marathon … I made the whole four day ride.  Some of the guys didn’t make it though …yeaaaaa for me and Dad!

Dad is drinking from a bottle, the 2 ATV's on the right are mine and Dads. The checkered flag is mine.

Stone Garden Planter

This rock was dug up by Ken on our acre in Arizona when we were fixing the place up there. We brought it with us to Utah. It makes a really cool planter.

Taking Down The Hill

These pics are of Dad cutting back on the hill.  Some day we will have a lot more room to park and such. Dad had to pull some dirt down to make a pad to drive up on then pull more dirt down.

Smokey Sunset

Here are a few Smoky Sunset pictures during the big fire across the mountain.  The rain and snow storm put the fire out finally.

Gardening in Utah, October Harvest

This is next to the last picking.  Last night (October 17) deer found the garden and jumped the fence.  They ate some of the squash, nibbled on a tomato plant then walked to the end of the terrace and down the stairs to the drive. We still have a lot of peppers and tomatoes to pick.
