Desert Adventure

I went out with Keresa's brother and some old guys (her dad and other old guy) to check out the countryside last weekend. We parked at the Carp Elgin exit off I-15, then drove the four wheelers from there. We went 96 miles. It was 115 down in the valley. It felt much cooler (though probably only in the low 90s) where we had lunch up in the mountains near Clover Creek. Highlights include seeing little pea-size frogs and tadpoles, checking out a pioneer grave, letting the old guys eat our dust, and getting back to the truck just running on fumes (even though we brought extra gas!).

We couldn't read it. I wonder if that defense will hold up in court.


Now only home to rats and jack rabbits.

We took the liberty of cooling off in this desert oasis.

The "river" where we had lunch. Nice moss in the water.

Maybe our next ride won't be as long. 96 miles is a long way on quads, and we were too tired when it was over. Maybe we will use our brains next time and not make a trip like this in the MIDDLE OF THE SOUTHERN NEVADA DESERT SUMMER HEAT. :)
