I swear, we can not go 4 wheeling without having some kind of problem! Everytime we go, something goes wrong but someone can usually fix it. We were so excited for the nice weather cuz Monday we planned on going for a long ride with the entire gang. There was my parents, Kasey, Meridee, Jackson & Addi, Teri, Cody & Josh and our family.
Anyhow, we headed out around 11am towards Lime Kiln and got to the red rocks where the kids climbed all over. We made a fire and roasted hot dogs for lunch, some of them shot guns, we were having a great time! We decided we better get going and we were on our way to wherever we were going next (still not sure where that was)! My parents and our 2 nephews were ahead of us and we got going and the belt broke and we stopped. We thought they'd turn around but never did so Nick and Teri headed back to get the truck and trailer. So Kasey, Meridee, Brooklin, Mason, Addi and myself just hung out for about an hour and a half waiting.... the sun was going to set behind the mountain soon - luckily we had the matches and some gasoline so Kasey started a fire for us. Finally the boys and my parents showed up and we exchanged stories (they had seen some guys that passed us and they told them we were somewhere completely different) and 5 mins later Nick and Teri showed up. By this time it's dark and cold! The kids, my mom, Nick, Teri and myself pile in the truck and head to Whitney Pockets so we can come home on pavement while the others just head back. We hit pavement and Nick checked the tie downs and everything looked good... 5 mins later, he looked behind and said, "The ranger is gone, it's not on the trailer." Teri and I were like shut up, what are you talking about. They got out and couldn't find it on the road and Teri just happened to catch one of the reflectors and it was probably 200-250 ft off the road, standing upright. I couldn't believe it! We called my dad and they headed out with his truck and trailer in the meantime, 2 guys stopped to help us. They helped roll it up on the trailer so we could get it tied down and on our way. We finally made it home in one piece!
Seriously, it was such a crazy day! But we had a good time despite a few mishaps!! If you ever want an adventure when you go 4 wheelin, just give us a call :)
