Jealousy Will Get You Everywhere!

Yes folks, I’m here to tell you that jealousy will get you everywhere.  Well, maybe not everywhere; but at least it will get you into the mountains.

I’ve come to the conclusion (Elementary my dear Watson), that my hubby was quite jealous of my gal pal trip to Oregon.

Last Friday he said, “Do you want to go somewhere for the holiday or are you sick of traveling?”  “If you do, I will take Monday off”.  Now, hubby doesn’t take time off unless it’s a big vacation or he’s going fishing.

Tuesday was a holiday for us Utah people.  It’s Pioneer Day.  The day which we celebrate our pioneer ancestors traveling the plains and coming into this valley.

As we thought about where we might go, I remembered that the kids had given us a get-away package for Daniels Summit resort for Christmas.  We had planned on using it this Fall, but why not call and see if there was any availability.

We stayed for one night and the next morning rented RZR’s for four hours.  In case you don’t know, a RZR is kind of like a four wheeler, only safer.  Here’s hubby in our little rig.



As we first headed up the trail we drove into a grove of quakies.  Isn’t this gorgeous?


Some of the sights we saw along the way is this rustic fence.


This old metal thing.  Not sure what it is, but I would have loved to have brought it home with me.  I love planting in anything galvanized.  Can’t you just see a plant coming out of the top?


How about this sheep camp?  You can hitch that to my wagon any old time.  We actually saw two more, but the battery on the camera had died.



A bit blurry but I loved the contrast of the b&w with the purple.  Even thistle look pretty growing in the wild.




Hubby let me get behind the wheel.  Boy was that fun!

 

A couple more beautiful scenery shots.





And then here we are at the end of the trail.  Now time to turn around and head back down.


Hope you enjoyed our little holiday adventure.

Hugs,

Jann
