Adventure Begins!

OK, I'm not quite sure how this all happened but somehow a bike trip became a quad trip. And before I knew it we had a 18' trailer behind the bbow loaded with two quads and we were on our way to Kane Springs Canyon. We were told where the road ends the adventure begins and it sure did.

Gary and Taryn drove a Polaris 800 with a jump seat. That was the last one of those they had today so I ended up driving a Yamaha 450 Rhino which is a two passenger side-by-side movin' machine. I called it the Mom-mobile. While no one rode with me I carried the sun screen, bug repellent and the all-important supply of water. I kept up with them no problem.

We had the most amazing experience and a whole lot of fun. Kane Creek road begins with a wide gravel road and is a great way to get used to your machine. Then it narrows into a more rocky path that heads up to Hurrah Pass which is 9.7 mi. from the pavement. It was a spectacular trip up that takes you thru Chicken Corners and the Lockhart Basin. We enjoyed the view at the top of Hurrah Pass at 4,780 ft. I must say I felt quite accomplished.

All along the way there are millions of trails to explore and we had a blast heading down various creek bed, sandy gulches ect. There are amazing formations of rocks and we even saw an Indian birthing stone with petroglyphics (look it up). Amazing!

Several hours later we were back at the bbow hot, sweaty, and completely covered with fine red dust. It was sick, but did we ever have a great adventure together. Every piece of our clothing had to be confined to a large plastic garbage bag and all of us needed to shower - thank you bbow for providing us with that.

After loading it was back to Moab to wash the bbow and the bikes, refuel and return them.

We are now extremely late and still have to drive 226 miles tonite. We will pass thru a part of Colorado and back in to Utah and still plan to stay in Vernal.

As I write we are in Loma CO heading North on Hwy 139 approx. 100 mi on our way. A great adventure - a great day!
