Iron Blosam Lodge By Evrentals Snowbird

So ha. Some of you have chided us for the dangers of picking up strangers, yet now it is us who may teach you a lesson. Nathan, the friendly stranger, needed a ride to Joe's Valley to go meet some climbing friends of his who knew a bit more about the area. Well, when Saturday morning comes around, Nathan and his friends show up at our campsite with their jeep and invite us along to a place called New Joe's ...

... note for "DOMENY". It said our room number and "Please us eonly one bed since you booked for one queen." The room had two doubles. Weird.

The trip TO Utah was cool, though. We drove through the Mojave desert. We drove down the Vegas Strip and decided we don't need to return. We crossed the borders of 4 states.

It begins.

... bus kept on stopping at Alhambra and other places before the man behind the wheel asked all of us to get out of the bus for a transfer. ****! Okay? So I had to go to the restroom, but we ended up going to one that really sucked. No toilet paper, the floors were wet, plus the bathroom line was long for BOTH males and females, which indicated that the restroom is only for men AND women. That was great! >_<

At least the bus we went to was ...

the 75 miles from Provo to Price are very beautiful I would imagine on a nicer day with better road conditions. Hwy 6 is under construction most of the way. We got up early to try to aviod some of the traffic. That ment 5am breakfast and 6:15 on the road. Unlike Florida the wind is up early and we had to go through a canyon that has a wind farm in it and of course the ...

So i went and rode ATV's in the sand dunes of Utah, a place called little sahara, about an hour and a half from salt lake or so, professionals go here, and this was my first time going to go ride in sand... it was crazy!! had a blast though, and i did well for my first time, at least i think so... I edited and made a cool movie out of the video's i took, so enjoy the videos and photos!

On my way to Bryce I drove through the Zion NP, it was even more touching than my destination. The red rocks, the rock window, simply touching. I also bought one piece of Navajo pottery. It is now with me in my living room, reminding me the savage landscape and romantic curving road.

... and was running and doing mid air somersaults off it in minutes. Cian was nervous about being out of his depth, but with Dad's careful coaching he was jumping off with ease befre too long! Lyn had a few jumps, and even I jumped off once, after a lot of "I can't do it!'s,a nd false starts. I hate spring boards! There's also a really nice pool for serious laned swimming. I'd definitely come back here, and so would the kids, they love it! I did ...

... in a shed with bed in (very similar to camp accomodation actually) and just chilled. Played a game called centurion, which involves taking a shot of beer every minute for 100 minutes. I got to 96 before the beer could not stay inside my stomach and felt the need to jump out. It was a fun game. I don't remember too much after that. I remember swimming in the lake and going to the ranch but that's a bout it. Happy times!

... life doing that very thing. How many people do you know that say "I always wanted to do that," then come with some rambling excuse about money or time or whatever else. Excuses don't matter. You can see a Dateline story of him here. I met him when he came to speak at our school. My dad and I took him to Nine Mile Canyon near Price and he gave me a brain coral he got while scuba diving (is that legal? I always wondered) some sunken ...
