me trying to get out of Jesse's jeep!


this is pyeat draw. this was and is my first wheelin trip with the baker family. i was driving Jesse's jeep, while Jesse baker was spotting me through the only part i got to really wheel. this was a fun trip, although with only 2 minor problems. tom Ginny and i drove up there and was all good until we hit payson which was traffic up the wazoo, we arrived at about 7, after we set up and fed everyone who was begging for food we sat around the camp fire waiting. we were waiting for Jesse and his family, the decided to leave at after 9 p.m. the arrived at a little after 12 o'clock that night. once Jesse and Amanda was set up we hit the hay for the long Saturday ahead of us. Saturday morning we had a great breakfast provided by tom and Ginny baker. as they day went on we loaded up and hit the trail, which was a very short drive up the dirt road. we were at the trail head in the mid morning. when we got there we found that a group ahead of us of about 20 rigs which made the trip go alot slower then planned. a Little after this picture was taken we had had lunch. but right before that we found that tom's jeep cracked the oil pan and Ginny and tom left back to camp. about an hour or so later the filter was ahead of us the group before us would have took along time to get through so we left. we never did get to the water fall. once all of us (billy and fam, Jesse and some fam, me Vance and wife) we sat around in the shade. billy, Hannah, and i had to go to the store, once done with the store we headed back up the mountain to our camp site. in about the middle of the mountain we found that Billy jeep had very little brakes. so we made the slow descent to camp with out them. Vance took billy to town to get the essentials for fixing them. after we Afro engineered his brakes, we sat around ate and slept. Sunday morning we got up pretty early packed up and made the decent home!





a lot of for thanks to the bakers. thanks!
