Fun with Family

The Saturday following our adventures in Castle Wash, we took another ride with Tammy and JJ to the Falls/Missile Trail. We unloaded the side-by-sides at the Hamburger Rock Campground and headed up the trail.  For a long ways you could see these rocks that look like hamburgers!

                                         We also saw lots of wildflowers along the trail.

                                                   And a lot of beautiful scenery

 This is the missile that the trail is named for.  It crashed here in the early 70's when the military was sending test flights of surface to surface missiles from Green River to White Sands, New Mexico

And more pieces of missile

Looking at something interesting!

This is the pool of water that the falls go into.  However, the falls were not running when we were there.

During the last week of May, Melissa brought their kids to visit.  We had a great time!

On June 2 we started the Eberhard Family Reunion.  What a fun week!

                                      Playing at Dry Wash with kayaks and having lots of fun

 On Thursday we were scheduled to hike to Cave Ruins, but it was too hot, so most of the family drove to Newspaper Rock

 Family photos  Unfortunately, many members of the family were not able to make it and others came later, so this is about half the total family.

     When a big storm came in, we had to eat in the garage.  We called it our luxury restaurant.

 The next morning we had a huge hailstorm.  The kids were collecting hailstones, but the got a lot bigger than these!

 On Saturday afternoon, those who were still here took the hike to Cave Tower Ruin.  It was much cooler!

  Some of the family hiked the other side of the canyon and explored some cool caves that had ruins inside.
