A couple of weekends at home....

You saw 2 weeks ago that the leaves are turning on our motorcycle ride.... this weekend I was invited to go 4-wheeling with some friends.  I ended up attending without my own off-road vehicle and gladly took the passenger seat in Jake's Cherokee!  (With Xander and Maya in the backseat). 

We headed up Storm Mountain which is just to the west of Loveland.  Not a long trail and not a difficult one so seemed like a good, short activity.

Once we turned off the main roads there were signs EVERYWHERE saying that there was no motor vehicle access of the public lands we were going to go try and drive motor vehicles on!  yikes!  We went on as there wasn't a backup plan and we've all seen this by homeowners before that don't like the traffic and noise that the weekend 4X4ers can cause.

Glad we kept going because it was open and was a great time!

 Our friend Matt was visiting from the East Coast so we brought him along - didn't  have to twist his arm very hard though :)

Here we all are at the top!

We even got mud on the roof of the Jeep!
