You Better Love Dust!
And we mean it. Wow! We don't think we've ever eaten that
much dirt in our lives - but at the base of the mountain those
paths were incredibly dusty and we not only ended up covered
in it, but despite best efforts, so did our teeth!
It was fun to have completed the complement of "mobiles" this
year after doing motorcycles, snowmobiles and seadoos we
were finally able to hit ATV's as well. Wow, those things are a
blast!

The Old Pro
Brent took to it like a duck to water - having never done it
before - granted he's ridden a 3 wheeler, but these
puppies are easier - not to mention more stable.

Getting Started
Kate told our guide "Okay, show me how this
works - like I"m a moron." Well, his
explanation worked, because we motored up
that mountain like nobody's business!

Did You Think We Were Kidding?
Unfortunately this shot is a bit blurry and
hardly does it justice - but we were caked in
dust... not exactly the best thing when you are
about to climb on an airplane!

More Beauty To Behold
Even on an ATV ride we couldn't resist the urge to take
photos of the scenery - this one really feels like you're at
the end of the earth - it's a long way down from this cliff.

On The Trail
Luckily the higher we got the less dust and the more rock
we encountered. We had such a blast on these things!
Talk about Zoom, Zoom, Zoom! We were the fastest group
our guide had ever taken.

Would have Been Quite The Tumble
This was not an easy shot to take and even so, it hardly
does justice to just how steep the hill was to our left here -
wow, it would have been one heck of a fall!

One Tiny Mishap
When the guides decided to stop just at the crest of a hill
they didn't realize it put Kate right at the steepest part and
her ATV stalled momentarily - but it did provide for a fun
action shot.

Breathtaking
Everywhere we went, no matter who showed
us around, or who was around us, everyone
was always in awe at the beauty in our midst
- it was really neat.

Careful Kate, That First Step's A Doozie!
