A good old truck






Mike and I both appreciate the virtues of a good truck. Unfortunately, along with leaving Canyon landscaping, we also had to leave behind the company truck. We had both gotten very used to the convenience of always having it, so when we came here one of our first priorities was to find a good old truck for our family. It didn't take long. We bought an 93 ford f-150 from our neighbor around the corner for a good price, and promptly planned a camping trip up Mayfield canyon. After getting lost a few times we found our way to Deep Lake. The truck got us there and back no problem, even with all our gear and Dad B and Daniel riding in the back. Now, if only the cigarette lighter worked we would have been in business because we all forgot matches and ended up eating cold hotdogs and smores. But we had a great time nonetheless, and are so glad to have a good truck for all our adventures.

Nice truck! We love camping in that area too. My bronco is basically an 82 f-150, but different body obviously, and now it's kind of modified. My friends bronco was an 83. Fords all the way.:)

Tony said...

Haha, I should have looked closer. I thought the grille looked weird. Yea, not an 83 for sure.

Beautiful scenery pictures!

Very cool now you can go camping with us, sometime.

Daniel said...

I remember Tony took mom, me, dad, and everybody in the green truck to Deep Lake.

Shelly thinks I live too much in 82.

Laura said...

ha! we would love to go camping with you guys sometime. Is it getting too cold? or can we fit it in before winter?

Daniel said...

Don't feel bad Tony, I live too much in '98. I am not going to do the 24 hrs of Moab so I am free to go camping too! If you guys are planning to camp, I am there. Tony, I will be at Caineville with mom this UEA.

We are going to Caineville in October. You are welcome to come down, you could take your van there though. :) I don't know that we will make it into the mountains again this summer but defiantly in the future it would be great to get out with you. Like Blue Lake would be awesome.
