o4-08-10

Around 10:00 this morning we took a ride into the Manti La Sal national forest.
We didn't have any destination in mind but thought that we might find a way to Beef Basin through the mountains.
It was really nice just to be in the forest for a change.
We saw several deer.



Drove past a couple of ponds.



Drove on several trails.

Saw some beautiful views.

There was still a lot of snow in the mountains.

Some of the roads that we were on ended at snow drifts.
This one doesn't look to bad but the right side is slimy mud with a steep canyon on that side. I tried to get through but the jeep started going sideways so I slowly backed out of it and turned around.

The next one was just to long to mess with.

We crossed several small streams cascading down the mountains.

For lunch we just pulled off the road and sat in the jeep to eat.

Patti got another flower picture.

It was very refreshing just driving around in green forest after all the dry desert we have seen the last five months.
