Saturday morning we loaded up a cooler with lunch and snacks, I threw some tools and the gas can in the back and we were on our way. Here we are on the highway...you can see Four Peaks in the distance, identified by its...four peaks:
Zoomed in:
Desert Scenery was beautiful, and thankfully dust was at a minimum:
Wife and kids
Dad and his boys
When wheeling with a little girl who's in the middle of potty training, some extra planning is needed:
Lunch time!
Came down the back side toward Roosevelt Lake and around Roosevelt Dam. You can see the lake in the distance, though it is really low right now
Got a shot of the jeep in front of Roosevelt Dam:
And a family shot (minus the teenager taking the picture):
Drove home through the canyons and past Tortilla Flat. The one lane dirt road proved tricky at times with 2 way traffic...and that was by FAR the worst dust.
All in all, a fantastic trip. Was about 7 hours door to door, but that included stops for lunch and ice cream too
And the Jeep did awesome! I was terrified of breaking down without Mike around and his parts truck, but had zero issues other than wishing the AC was working to avoid the dust at the end...as it stands, the inside that I just cleaned is now coated in dust. Oh well. Time to get the vacuum out again!
