Elephant Cove

A few of us who were down in the St. George area got together for a 'spur-of-the-moment' ride, and had a GREAT time!


Here we are:  
Larsens, Englands, Lunds, our new friends, Dix & Sheila Keller (friends & neighbors of the Englands), Brenchleys






Gil exploring is feminine side!











The ladies at one of the river crossings.

Lunch at Mt. Carmel is always a highpoint!






After lunch, we came back a different way, and there were a couple of scary places...at least for the women.





So we walked down and let the men drive.


 We had so much fun, we decided to go out again the next day.  The Englands and Kellers took us on a ride behind their homes, past the turtle reserve, and along the base of Pine Valley mountain.

Two beautiful days,  two great rides, and fun friends to be with!

First Ride of 2015


We pulled together an impromptu outing over Martin Luther King Jr. weekend, and discovered we don't need to make elaborate plans in order to have fun.  Even though it was a bit chilly, we had a great time and it sure beat what we all would have been doing up north.  Any day riding with friends is a great day, however, we missed having some of you with us!

Day 1:  Logandale Trails, Nevada






The following two photos were submitted by Gil and Marylu:


Day 2:  Sand Hollow, Utah  (Everyone, I need your photos!!)

 "Just Showing Off Our Backside!" -- (photo and comment by Ilene)

We saw this place!!!
Until I can post photos of our ride here, watch this video that was taken at The Maze at Sand Hollow.  I'm positive our ride was just as exciting...well, at least we had as much fun!

More 2014 Memories - Midway Ride











In August, (I think), we took a a steep, rocky trail starting at Midway that ended at a spectacular overlook onto Brighten Ski Resort in one direction and Deer Creek Reservoir in the other direction.  The scenery was, like I said, spectacular!  I'm not sure I've got pix of everyone who was with us on that day, so if I missed anyone, I'm sorry!
