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 …
Summer!
We have all been witnessing the quintessential signs of the beginning of spring/summer. April showers bringing May flowers, more time after work to kick the ball around with the boys because the sun is waiting for us to set, my neighbor parking their RV on their front lawn. And, perhaps the most defining, and definitely …
Top of the World
We spent last weekend in Moab with Dan & Beth (Mo’s Aunt and Uncle, Dan is Craig’s youngest Brother). We spent the majority of our time crawling around two Jeep trails, Top of the World and Fins & Things. We have run portions of Fins & Things before, but this time ran the entire trail. …
Helmet Head
I know its August, but I found this great picture of the boys skiing last season at Alta on Mo’s blackberry. I had to share it with everyone! We are getting excited for the upcoming ski season, but are still thoroughly enjoying this great summer.
CAN

Moab 2008
We ran down to Moab this weekend for a quick trip. What a great time! We hiked to Delicate Arch Friday evening, the boys are great hikers. We saw some great stuff, a giant frog, a collared lizard, Ute Indian petroglyphs, and some beautiful scenery. We ran the Fins & Things Jeep trail on Saturday …
Disneyland 2008
We just returned home from Disneyland! We had a great time! We flew from Salt Lake International to LAX on Tuesday morning (5/20/08), then caught the Disney bus which took us to the Disneyland Hotel. The whole setup they have there is, for lack of a better word, “magical”. From the hotels, to downtown Disney, …
Neff’s Canyon Cave
Tom, Jon & I grew up believing it existed, but others thought it was an urban legend. Tom & Jon’s dad (Parker Gay) is an MIT educated Geo-Physicist, and knew it “was up there somewhere”. Well Tom finally found it! Neff’s Canyon Cave, according to the USGS is the deepest cave in the US at …
