Grassy Flats

Another Camping Trip in the books!

June 12-14, 2020

Finally had my whole crew with us this time, so we rented Adam's friends razor so we would have enough seats for everyone. We went to Grassy Flats by Pine Valley with the Cains. 

I love experiencing new places to camp. We were greeted by a herd of cows when we pulled up and each morning. :)

Calli and Gentry going to go check them out. 

Late night "lighted" corn hole tournament. 

Our camping site. 

Adam trying to get close enough to the trailer to put gas in the razor...don't mind the bush. 

Filling up. It's so convenient having a pump on the trailer. 

Sadie's all cozy in Austin's hoodie with short sleeves...they thought this was so funny.

Kim Kardashian ready to ride. 

The couples in one razor and me, Adam and Bo in other, with Cains in their own. 

An old pioneer hotel

The crew minus Calli, she had gone to find a tree ;)

Checking out the trail up ahead...turns out we charted or own course as far as we could and then had to turn around and go back as we hit a dead end. 

We rode for over three hours all over Pine Valley Mountain. We went to Grass Valley and over to Pinto. We came back dirty from head to toe. We were covered in sand. We had some friends (the Mecham's) coming up for a ride later that day. We ate lunch and all the "big" kids decided to shower and stay at camp relaxing, watching a movie and playing games while we headed back out on another three hour ride. 

Cow in the road. 

Cool Tree. We headed back over to Pinto where Ryan was trying to find an old Iron mining town. Again we hit a dead end...

but this time instead of turning around we went right through it with screams and squeals of delight from everyone. 

We got caked in mud as we sped through the creek trying to not get stuck. This ended up being one of the highlights of the trip. So fun!!

Great things happen when men and mountains meet. 

That smelly mud all over us was worth it as we found the mining town. 

It was pretty cool. This was an old charcoal kiln. 

After the mining town we rode over to New Castle reservoir

and then Mountain Meadow. 

We made it back to a hungry crew...Navajo Tacos for the win. 

We had a couple deer wander through camp. 

That night we sat around the fire making s'more's with everyone. 

The next morning, the kids took off a few hours before Adam and I, so I had to get a quick picture with this motley crew before they left. It was so much fun having all of us together for a couple nights in the mountains. Love  my crew!
