Ride to Far West

Last Saturday our challenge course team took an ATV ride to one of the outback camps.  All young women who are attending camp for their fourth year are required to hike to one of the outback camps carrying their own tents, food, water, etc. and camp for one night.  The camp that we rode to is called Far West.  It was an awesome ride.  The weather was perfect, the trails were perfect - we did hit some snow at the top and had to turn around, but for the most part perfection was the order for the day.  We left at 10 a.m., rode to Far West where we ate lunch, and then rode back to camp.

Here is Charlie gassing up the ATV before the big ride.

Note that this gas is for Missionary ATV's Only . . .

Look at all those ATV's and UTV's all lined up and ready to roll

After a prayer we were all set to go

Everyone stay together now

We made it to Far West Camp

This is the campfire ring.  Note the blue barrel in the background -

this contains water for putting out the fire when the girls leave camp.

You can't see it, but off to the right is a honey bucket (porta potty) for

the girls to use - we would have like to used it too, but it was locked :(

Here we are - rabbit ears and all

This is a panorama taken from Far West

We all sat around the campfire pit and ate our lunches.  Charlie

went to school with the Sister you see in the picture - they both

graduated from Wasatch High School in 1969 and have now

come back to Heber to serve as missionaries - kinda cool huh?

You can't tell, but the front right wheel is really sitting on a rock.

Many of the missionaries took the opportunity of having their

picture taken looking as if they had been run over by this UTV.

It doesn't take much to amuse us old folks (lol)

Beautiful view of Heber Valley
