Sunday, Muddy Sunday


The "before" pic
This past weekend we set forth in Ty’s jeep for an adventure.

 





Sun and Shadows
  We stopped for some not-so-fast-food at the Burger King in Fruita, bought some camera batteries at the City Market, and I gave in and bought a box of Girl Scout Cookies at their table outside.


Not deep mud yet

 We headed north to explore the North Fruita Desert. It was a nice sunny day, a wonderful time to go out and get some fresh air and have some together time.



My lovely window


And my mirror
After checking out several small side roads, we decided to go up a canyon, which appeared to lead into the Bookcliffs on the Colorado Atlas we had.


Mmmmmmud


It had snowed quite a bit earlier in the week, which made for some very muddy roads. Just what Ty wanted to go play in! 
He piloted us up and around the hills, and we eventually came to the top where we could look off towards the valley on the south side, and another ridge toward the north side.

Ewww

I was thrilled to see a flock of Western Bluebirds, surely that means Spring isn’t far off. We also saw some eagles, crows, and mule deer.

View towards the Valley
Our jeep was encrusted with mud by the time we arrived back at our RV park, but we had a great time.
