We arrived on Thursday night and got settled into our cabin. Scott had all ready arrived and established his camp site. We then went to the store and to bed.
Friday we got up and the weather was not that good so we went to the Pancake Haus for some vittles. Since the weather wasn't that nice, we drove around to scout out some hiking locations. That afternoon Mindi and Mom and Dad arrived. Nate and Jen were right behind them. 
That night, we picked up our Jeeps that we had reserved. I picked up a yellow 4 door Rubicon and Nate had a Red 2 door Rubicon. We then headed off to see how the non-modified Jeeps would do on Fin's and Things. We were both please with the performance of the vehicles. We then headed out to do a small hike and look for the Cowboy Bathtub.

We then headed out to do a small hike and look for the Cowboy Bathtub. Saturday, we woke up and after some grub at the Pancake Haus, we took the Jeeps out to Hell's Revenge, one of the premier Jeeping trails in the Moab area. 
In the Yellow Jeep we had Jeff - driving, Ellis in the passenger seat and Brit, Tanner and Zak (not Zakky) in the back seat. In the Red Jeep we had Nate - driving, Scott in the passenger seat and Sammy and Ryleigh in the back seat. Most of the people on this excursion had never been on Hell's Revenge. 
There were numerous times that Ellis stated "We aren't going up that are we?". Well yes we were going up there and we were going up the next one. I am glad everyone survived. At the end of the trail there is a fairly flat sand road that we had a little race on. At the very end, there was a huge bump that Nate hit and totally annihilated one of his shocks. We met the others at the Art Show going on down there. We tried to do another trail in the afternoon but Nates Shock was toast. He had to turn around and replace it. I took the older kids (Shanae, Tawni, Brit and Tanner) on Fin's and Things. Dinner at Eddy McStiffs and hanging out finished out the day.

Then the 2nd annual Dance off or Dancing with the Tards. Ian, Zak, Scott, Mindi, Megan and Kaylee participated this year. Here is Kaylee's video.
We then took a hike down Mill Creek Canyon. The water was cold but the scenery was amazing. 
We did a shuttle from the bottom to the top so we only had to hike downhill, good think, I am not in the best of condition. We saw Petroglyphs and some amazing river scenery. I would highly recommend this hike. After the hike, another trip to Pasta Jays for dinner and then to the giant sand hill just north of town. This year we brought saucer sleds to try out. Well they work pretty well. I wonder why my back and neck hurts today. I think we all had sand in place that you should not have sand.
I will try to gather up all the photos and do a slide show later on. Great trip again this year!
