Mantua

We drove all the way from our house, stopped at the gas station, drove up sardine to Mantua, down the dirt road and to the dirt parking lot. What is still on the bumper when we get there???!!! I couldnt believe they were still there! Joe set them there when he was fixing the lights on the trailer in the driveway!!
Our rig :)
Here are some fall leaves for you mom since there's none down there!
Joe checkin up on the sign he made. Only a few bullet holes on the top but still in good shape.
View into Willard Basin

Getting some water from the spring. This is the best water ever! Its natural spring water but is piped at the very end.
Waitin for Joe to get me some water
Me and my honey. I love him :)
When we first got there we came around a corner and saw a bunch (aprox 7) does. Then we went a little further and ran into these 3 does and there are 4 more on the side of them. It was so hard to try and get some pictures of the deer!!! I tried and tried!

Looking at the sunset.
Looking into Brigham City. If you look hard you can see the white plane that kept circling around us when we were up there
More fall colors
Its really hard to tell in this picture but there is a deer. You can see the eyes. After we saw the first set of deer on our way up to Inspiration Point we saw this little dust cloud that was kind of swirling in a circle like something had just turned and ran. We went over to the little dust cloud and there were HUGE cat tracks! After we came back down from inspiration really close to where the cat tracks was the same herd of deer we had seen before. We kept coming down the hill and all of a sudden there were a few more does on the side of us. We kept going and then there was a nice 2pt buck standing there just looking at us broadside!! My trigger finger started twitching! I tried to take a picture but there was too much dust. It didnt turn out. We went down the trail headed home some more and found about 5 does on one side of the road and another 3 on the other. I was able to get a picture kind of... We had a really great ride up there. Joe and I try at least once a year to go up to Mantua and ride around. Thanks to Lyshla who watched lil miss kennedy we were able to go! The leaves were so pretty and we had such a nice ride! Ther were hardly any people up there at all. Thank you baby for taking me :)
