Several people had conflicts arise, so we ended up with a small group on this run, but fun was had by all. Run was sponsored by the North American XJ Association- Intermountain Chapter
Dr Moab and family, Troy and family and Mason and I met in Hyrum, UT on Friday afternoon and headed up Blacksmith Fork to Left Hand Fork. There had been some rain showers earlier in the day, which was just enough to keep the trail dust down.
We made good time to the 4 corners area, where we planned on camping for the evening, but since our group was small, we decided to head up to the warming hut camp below Logan Peak for the night, where I had originally wanted to camp. This was a great decision.
Mason turns 16 next month and he's always happy to take the wheel, so I was a passenger for the majority of this trip. This allows me more shutter time, so its all good.
We set up camp near the warming hut and got a fire going, as there was a bit of a chill in the air. Everyone ate their dinners and as the light was fading, Mason broke out the pneumatic carrot gun to send some orange projectiles downrange. The kids had a blast!
Carrot Gun Fun
We sat around the fire and dined on Smores and then the Super Moon popped over the trees. This was an added bonus to the evening, however I later had a hard time falling asleep, as my tent was fully illuminated by the moon.
We broke camp Saturday morning and headed down Righthand Fork to meet Steve's party and JeeperG and his bro, who couldn't join us the night before.
Our group of 5 rigs traveled up Logan Cyn to the Franklin Basin Road and then headed North towards Idaho. As I had hoped, the basin was awash with color, with the wildflowers in full bloom.
