The first driving trip of 2011 -- July 29-30

It's a couple months after this trip actually happened, so this will just be a synopsis of the trip.

Brennan (my brother), Blake and I decided to take the first drive to the cabin.  There has been a struggle with the BLM this year and they are doing everything they can to keep us from accessing our land, so this trip was later than it usually would have been.

It's always fun to take people to the cabin the first time, especially during driving season!  Not many people these days actually get to cross rivers.  When we told him we had to cross it 10 times, Blake figured we meant on bridges or something.  It was quite a bumpy ride up the river, but luckily our neighboring land owner, Greg, drove up with us and showed us the route to take!

If I get a chance I'll add the videos of crossing the river and some pics to the blog.

We went up Friday after work, and the next morning we hiked up Mt. Blalock.  This is a huge accomplishment for me, because it is the first time I made it to the top since I was in high school!

It was a short, but a fun trip!
