ATVing in the Rockies - Sat. July 18, 2009

On Saturday we met up with Wendy and Troy's neighbor and work friends of his for a day of ATVing - this was a new experience for Rene and I. We were told to wear our hiking shoes, to layer our clothes as it might be cool at the top of the mountain and most important, to wear a kerchief to cover our face from dust. As you can see, the day was gorgeous and offered beautiful mountain views. We started off with Wendy & Rene on an ATV and Troy and I -- as we knew nothing about driving one of those things. Wendy did really well, but eventually Rene took over the driving. I got a wild ride with Troy. I couldn't believe the rocky gorge area in the woods we were driving through.





We were tired and dusty at the end of the day. We got back to our starting point at 4:30 -- what an exhilarating day. We rode about 23 miles round trip.




Wendy is driving -- Rene is filming. We had just taken off for our wild ride!
