Highline Trail Ride

Dad made plans for the boys in the family to make a trip down the Highline Trail.  The Highline is the trail that goes from Soda Point clear past the Utah line.  Dad & I spent lots of time during the summer when I was in college cleaning the Highline & trails that spur off of it.  They were supposed to head out last Friday @ 8:00 a.m.  After a slow start they headed out at Bailey Creek at 10:00 & made it about 20 yards before the first break down.  Luckily there are a few mechanics in the family & dad's machine was up and running in no time.  Here are a few shots from the day:

Jim attempted to break the trail through some leftover snow - now that is something - stuck in the snow on the 3rd of July.  Watch the video of them pulling it out - thanks for taking the video Blake, LOL!



Mom & I picked Dad, Jim & Blake up at Emigration Canyon campground, just above Ovid & then went to eat at the Ranchhand.  The guys were beat , but are already planning the trip to cover the next half of the trail.  I wonder if they will let me come - it looked like lots of fun.
