An old miner's cabin


On Saturday, we took off for a fun adventure in the Oquirrh Mountains west of Salt Lake. What a great ride. My three sons and I headed off the beaten road for a 3-hour ride, 15 miles into the hills. We came across several abandoned mines, an old mining engine and what looked to be a rusted truck from the '20s. We also came across the remains of several dead livestock; it must have been a tough winter for some lost grazing cattle. Anyway, we all enjoyed spending this time together. The boys are improving their riding skill and able to negociate some rocky spots. It's exciting to see how much their confidence improves after they climb a long hill or carefully manuver down a rocky trail. Here's a photo of us stopped at the old-miner's cabin.
