Day 3

Saturday morning, we all dragged ourselves out of bed and went down to breakfast. Most of us were feeling pretty tired and Nicki described as "full of lead." We were just slow moving. I don't know if it was the cold, rainy weather from the previous days that sucked the life out of us or the fact that we weren't sleeping in our own beds.
We left the hotel around 9:00 and drove towards Scipio. We weren't' quite sure which road to take, but we finally back tracked and made it to our trail around 10 am. The sky was blue for the most part, but it was kind of chilly. We could see our breath, so we knew we better dress warm. Most of us through on our rain gear to help block the wind. The skies started to build dark clouds and it threatened most of the day, but we ended having a dry day, which was nice since it was colder that day.The trail we took winded up the mountain through the pines and aspens. It was so pretty and green. There were even a few leaves that were starting to change colors. As we climbed, we could see just how far up we were going. I have learned that it doesn't take very long to climb up a mountain on a four wheeler. You can cover alot of ground in a short amount of time.The trail we took on this day actually connected to the trail that we took on Thursday. In fact, we met up at the same point on the trail from Thursday. There is winter cabin up there that was the meeting spot. It's a rescue cabin. Anyway, the wind was blowing good up there so we decided to go back down to a warmer spot to eat lunch.
I couldn't believe the mountain ranges in this area. Pictures do not even do them justice. It just seemed like the mountains went on forever. It was a good mixture of Moab and Logan Canyon. Richfield was such a beautiful area. I had never been there before, so I was pleasantly surprised. Both Bryce and I had a great time on this trip. It is definitely something we would love to do again. It was so nice to be able to spend that time together without kids and also to get to know the other couples better. We enjoyed spending the three days with Mom and Dad, and look forward to doing it next year!
