Four Peaks of the Plomosa Mountains

After finally getting our blog posted Gina and I took off for a long four-wheeler ride. Our goal was to take the same trail that Mike and I took Monday over to the Four Peaks. We have not been back there since last year when we spent our anniversary hiking around that area. On our way there we found a very big mineshaft. We ventured in just a little. Gina didn’t think it was too safe and I even brought our big flashlight. So you only get to see a little of it.

We continued on and finally arrived at the base of the Four Peaks. We parked the four-wheeler and Gina began her search for that perfect rock.

Before long it was time to make our way back home. It was a long ride and the next time we’ll need to leave earlier since it’s almost a 30 mile roundtrip. Even though we didn't have a lot of time we still had another great ride. We made it back home just in time for happy hour at Jim & Ellie’s. They were hosting and Jim was cooking for our new arrivals, Doug & JoAnn and Fred & Jo. Of course Rod & Deb and Mike & Janna joined in welcoming our new arrivals to all of ours little desert paradise.

Once we made it back home it was time to get our home ready for traveling. We’ll be pulling out some time this morning making our way to Victorville, California. This is where Thomas & Ashley live. We want to spend some time with them before he deploys for Afghanistan. We’ll be back to our little desert paradise just as soon as he departs later in the month.


Gina & I hope everyone has a pleasant and wonderful day, enjoying what our Father has so graciously blessed us with.
