This is a two part adventure. Our first attempt at finding the Red Man pictograph we started at the Fort Pearce ruins and hiked down (West) the Fort Pearce Wash. We found many great petroglyphs, but Red Man was elusive. We made it approximately 1 mile down wash, but some of the troops are short …

West Rim
I did a little exploring today in the St. George desert. I had heard of a fun Jeep trail nearby called the West Rim. This trail is part of the Winter on the Rocks off road event (it’s like the Easter Jeep Safari of St. George). Wow! It was really fun! To give some perspective, …
Moab Adventures
We recently returned from an exciting trip to Moab. We have made a tradition of heading down there the week of Erik’s birthday. This year that coincided with part of the Easter Jeep Safari. There were super wicked Jeeps everywhere! Uncle Dan and Aunt Beth joined us this trip, we really love spending time with …
Halloween in Canyon Country
Thanks to The Discovery Channel, I have been introduced to punkin’ chunkin’, and have seen it in high definition no less (for those of you that are unfamiliar with this mostly Mid-Western past time;HERE is a link to quell your curiosities). But when I randomly discovered that a punkin’ chuckin’ festival was being held in …
Moab for Erik’s Birthday
Erik turned 8 today! He is an incredible boy, I am so lucky to be a part of his life! Erik’s birthday wish was to go to Moab. How could I deny that request?! We hit the road Friday morning, and visited the Sego Canyon rock art panels, and Sego ghost town on the way. …
Little Sahara
The boys and I played hooky and spent an awesome day exploring Little Sahara sand dunes with Uncle Dan! What fun!

Moab in October
We had an awesome time in Moab a couple weeks ago with Jonny, Noemi & kids. We hit Dead Horse Point on our way down. It was Mo & the boys first time to the point. Instead of heading all the way back to Highway 191 we drove down Long Canyon and Pucker Pass to …
5 Mile Pass
Uncle Dan and I took the Jeep and Skulls (the Cruiser) out to the Five Mile Pass recreation area after work the other day. The area is managed by the Bureau of Land Management. The Pony Express passed through the area during 1860-1861. The area also was traveled by the stagecoach and pioneer families heading …
Jp Magazine Article
Almost two years ago I emailed a picture of us Jeepin’ through Salt Creek in Canyonlands to Jp Magazine. I had found the great picture in Mom’s basement, and submitted it in response to a request for “vintage” Jeep photos. I just received my June issue of Jp magazine and was shocked to find my …
