We were able to go to three different places while there. I've posted a lot of pictures, mainly for my family because I know they all love the mountains as much as I do. So this post probably won't be too boring for them, but for the rest of you who might check out my blog, you may be bored, but what's new???
We went to the City of Rocks, but first stopped at the Outpost in Almo for lunch.
In the background of this next picture are the Twin Sisters, which were a major landmark for pioneers passing by on the California Trail in the mid 1800s. The City of Rocks has some of the oldest rock in North America. The sister on the left is 2.5 billion years old and the sister on the right is 25 million years old. How does that happen? They cooled underground at different times, but were both brought to the surface at the same time by erosion.
Bathtub Rock is the tall one in the back in this next picture. It is named that for the hole on top, which feels up with water from rain and looks like a bath tub. On the backside are handles so anyone can climb to the top of Bathtub Rock.
We took the four wheelers up Old North Road on our second trip to the mountains. Oakley is down below.
Our final trip to the mountains was to Bostetter, which is a campground. We rode all around up there. I love when the trees start changing colors.
Finally, a video of Lauren up at the City of Rocks. She is well on her way to being the next American Idol...

I remember my good ol trip to Oakley! We went to the City of Rocks. It was awesome, and quite frankly the most frightening hike I'd ever embarked upon. But I didn't want those tough, well "tough", Hales picking on me cuz I was scared up on those steep rocks! Ha ha...I guess I can admit that now. I love seeing the pictures of your sweet folks! :)
someday somebody's gonna make you wanna turn around and say good by-ye til then baba are you gonna let im hold ya down and make you cry-y don't ya know, things'll change. things'll go your way if ya ho-old o-on to one more day, things'll go your way. i can't help it, i'm sad lauren has taken my place as the partner trail singer. but she is much cuter, so i won't feel too bad. i love seeing these pictures. miss ya!
