This one is a bit blurry, but what can you expect from a phone camera on the White Roller Coaster...
After we left Lagoon we went to get all our stuff ready for our Rhino/Razr ride! Sam and I went to Dick's for the food while the boys loaded the machines onto the trailer and truck. Turns out we really have no idea how much 7lbs of ice is, so we ended up going back for more...we're learning to be adults, slowly! We originally had planned to go up to Mantua to ride, but our plans got delayed a bit so we ended up just going up Bountiful Canyon. Riley and Jared have ridden up there tons of times and knew how to get to the old abandoned silver mines.
View from the top of the canyon. SO pretty!!
The Rhino was a bit of a tight fit through the gate....
So we had to improvise a bit.
Needless to say we were pretty determined to get down to the mine! There are a few REALLY old cars that were abandoned along the road down.
One of the entrances to the mine. Super creepy!!
Before we could do any serious exploring we had to have lunch. We were all pretty starved at that point!
The day was going absolutely perfect. The weather was wonderful, the machines were in one piece, we had full bellies, and then...the Rhino got a flat tire. Awesome. Luckily we had a spare! In the truck. At the bottom of the canyon. So Riley and I jumped on the RZR and drove back up the trail to the mines and down to the truck, leaving Jared and Sam. Luckily we made really good time so they weren't abandoned for too long.
Of course it isn't an adventure with Jared and Spam without the boys' classic pose. I don't even remember how this came about, but they always do it!!
We're so lucky to have such awesome friends!! Even though things rarely go as planned, those crazy times always make for the very best stories.
