The first trail we took was up the mountain. With all the moisture and cold weather the few days before, it didn't take us long to get into snow. There were small streams running down the trail as the snow melted. The snow got deeper and deeper as we climbed the mountain. We decided to stop part of the way up, take pictures, and head back down.
The next trail we went on was out through the valley. We stopped at the beaver dam and pond so the kids could run around a play. Clayton enjoyed spending time with Brittney. She is always so good to spend time with him!
We continued on this trail for a little while. There is a part on this trail that is a little dangerous. It is an uphill climb, but the trail is uneven. If you don't line up your tires just perfectly and have enough speed, you could very likely tip backwards. Well, we came to this part and Bryce went up. I stopped and waited. Britt went up with no problem (she lucked out) and then Nate followed her with no problem. Julie went up next and she almost tipped backwards. She did the right thing by leaning forwards and she took her hand off the gas. Bryce saw it and quickly ran down to grab the machine. It was a really scary moment! I am glad everything went ok. I know we had angels watching out for us that day, because it could have ended a lot worse.
We decided to keep going on this trail. By the way, this not my favorite trail. It is somewhat dangerous. It has a lot of places where it there are washouts. You have to strattle your tires over the washouts. Anyway, we didn't make it very far before we were in deep snow again and it was too dangerous to keep going. We had a lot of inexperienced drivers, so it was best to turn around.
We came to a spot that is a huge hole. It is always full of water, no matter what time of year you come up there. I have seen trucks and jeeps go through it. Chelsey decided to try her luck and went blasting through it. It completely soaked her but she had a fun time doing it.
We decided to try one more trail. This one went out through the hills. It was a safe trail, just not as long as the others. This trail had so many huge puddles of water. We would all blast through the water. I had Shaylee on the back of my machine and we had a great time riding together.
There was a spot on this trail that had so much water. We spent a lot of time there while everyone went back and forth, over and over again, through the water. I am pretty sure this was everyones favorite part of the day. We finished that trail and then headed back to camp. Everyone cleaned up, packed everything up, and went home. It was quite an adventerous weekend. We made so many memories and had a great time!
