Tory's Road Trip (May 27)

Tory and his friend Rob (from work) decided to brave the open dirt road and take a day to explore some unseen parts of our beautiful State. They went on Mud Flat Road. It starts south west of Mountain Home and goes over to Jordan Valley area.

They took a Jeep Grand Cherokee on a 260 mile trip; 180 miles of that was dirt road!

They left a t 7:00 a.m. and got back around 10:15 p.m.

Tory took a lot of pictures but these were some of my favorites!

It rained a lot that week so all the colors were very vibrant; unfortunately our camera just doesn't seem to it justice.

Being the prepared scout that my husband is, He left me with a detailed map and all the areas he would be and the approximate times he would be at each of them.

He told me he would call and check in a 12:00 when they stop for lunch, before they got out of cell phone service range.

Since they were running late (from the dirt roads being rougher than anticipated) The Old Basque Inn restaurant had just closed it's kitchen at 2:00. They got there at 2:10. The kitchen didn't re-open until dinner at 5:00.

But they had some extra soup and sandwiches so Tory and Rob didn't starve.

15 hours, lots of mud, and a flat tier later They finally made it home safe!

This is a map where they went!
