The family loaded up in the work truck and went to work with Lance. Today he had to go to Peter's Point. It is a 3hr drive on a dirt road. I had whip-lash, but now when he points to the horizon and says I was on those mountains, I know what he is talking about. Part of the drive is through 9 mile canyon, where lots of Indian art is found on the canyon walls. It was beautiful. The red cliffs and green valley with a river. It is strange seeing all the big diesel trucks going down these narrow bumpy roads, very out of place.
This was the road and another work truck we were behind.

I wish I knew the story behind the picture.....anybody? My dad said there is some art in this canyon that shows where Ammon cut off the arms of the guys stealing the sheep (Book of Mormon story).We drove up a steep dugway to get to the top of a mountain. You have to get on the CB to check if anyone else is coming up/down, because it is only wide enough for one vehicle. There were little flies everywhere. They would land on your face and pester you. I ate two and had one go up my nose. Gross.

That is really neat. What does your husband do for work?
You know, I'd keep that part about eating flies to myself if I were you! ha! Last time we went to 9 mile, I remembered what an awful drive that is and our vehicle broke down right as we got back into town! I was sure glad we didn't break down out there in the middle of dusty old nowhere. The rock art is so cool though (but not sure if it's worth the drive--at least the second time!).
Whoa you sure have been busy blogging! Looks like your having a fun summer! You have a Yukon? What happened to the Saab?
Ok...that sounded fun right up until the eating flies part. YUCK!
That looks like TONS of fun. The picture of you and the indian art reminds me of when we hiked up in red cliffs and found frogs. Do your remember that? THe good old days. . a a a h a a
