This past year was a very busy, very fun year. Not sure if it surpassed 2013, but only because there was no big international trip. Hopefully that will be rectified in 2015!
February:
The Annual Wasatch Cruisers Dunes Run was a great time as always.
Later in the month Katy and I made quick trip to Florida to visit some friends. Something great about taking an ocean swim while Utah was still in a deep freeze!
March:
A Quick-n-Dirty trip wandering the West Desert with friends.
Followed by another trip out west wandering the vastness of the desert.
April:
A long overdue Return to the Easter Jeep Safari.
The very next weekend, I was back to explore the area around Moab.
June:
The inaugural Retro Ramble kicked off with radical rigs and some back to the future action. Save Ferris!
My good friend Kate and her Australian fiancé Matt came to Utah for their wedding. Leading to an legendary two weeks of Aussie on parade.
August:
The sixth Relic Run found us exploring the Henry Mountains in fantastic vintage rigs.
Four relaxing days on a houseboat at Lake Powell. No complaints about that!
September:
A cold night up AFC for the Mini-Quarterly Training Day followed by National Public Lands Day and a great night in the Howell Cabin at Brighton.
October:
Met up with my friend Spencer to explore the middle ground between SLC and St. George.
The Next 27 Hours at the UBAD JL Rockies Invitational in the Maze, Poison Spring Canyon, and Black Dragon Canyon.
A surprising 1st anniversary pub crawl in downtown SLC for my sister and her husband. Only included here for posterity due to it’s epicness. (i.e. I don’t remember this picture being taken…)
November:
A random post Thanksgiving trip to the San Rafael Swell.
December:
A warm, muddy, but thoroughly entertaining sixth annual Freeze Your Tail Off.
See you all next year!
