4 Wheeler Fever & Silver City

We've had a lot of fun lately since Brian picked up a 4 wheeler! He first went to Moab Utah with his brother Todd for a few days & since then he was hooked! I'll have to download those pics- beautiful area! Next, Brian & Aundrea took a day trip to Silver City, ID. They parked the truck & took the 4 wheeler up the curvy, dirt road to the old ghost town. Some people still live up there maintaining the buildings. There are camp spots & a very old hotel, so people camp & basically 4 wheel all over the mountain. The next weekend Brian & I went with Dustin & Rachel Aldrich on a double 4 wheeling date. We had so much fun! We brought up hotdogs etc & roasted them over a fire up on a peak. The weather was great & the scenery was beautiful! We had a blast hanging out & riding! Brian & Gabe went a couple of weeks later! Aundrea giggled all the way up, I shrieked & held on most of the time, & Gabe well he was in heaven! That was the coolest thing ever for him!
This church overlooks alot of the city- I couldn't believe how difficult it must have been to build!

They have a few cemetaries up in Silver City for all the miners & their families that lived there. I can't imagine how hard it must have been living there! The saddest were the graves of all the babies- there were so many & they died so young.
Going up to Silver City we ran into a little bit of snow- this is where they actually plowed the road. Talk about a lot of snow remember this is the end of May!
The snow got too deep to go through but we found a great spot to hang out & eat our campfire dinner overlooking the valley! Dustin & Brian of course had to climb the highest rock for the best view!
Me, Dustin, & Rachel on the safer part of the peak! I can't remember what we were laughing about but we sure did alot of it!
Brian & Aundrea the week before hit alot of snow!
I think Aundrea was telling Brian she was hungry! I just thought it was a funny picture!
