Scenes from a Western Adventure



Since, I am so lame at posting lately I'll upload a bunch of photos from the last trip to Hurricane. Dan and Jill took us on a 4 wheeler trip that pretty much lasted all day. We went south from our house WAY past the Honeymoon trail to the Temple trail. Then looped up the mesa and had lunch. Next we were off to find Antelope Cave. Lucky for us that someone was already inside, so we climbed down in there too. I had heard about this cave all my life so it was great to finally see it. It's very large even though part of the roof had caved in and it went back in for a long ways. We didn't have flash lights so we stuck close to the entrance.



Next it was down over the mesa on the Honeymoon trail, that is one scary piece of road. They say that in the heyday they used to walk down the trail and tie a pair of horses or oxen both to the front of the wagons and on the rear. I'm thinking that if I had been alive back in those days, I would have wanted to be married and had that marriage consumated before risking my life getting down the mountain, but what do I know...The view was spectacular but I didn't get a decent shot so I guess I'll just have to go again next time.

Enjoy the pictures!

That would be a fun trail to ride someday--not the scary parts but the rest!
