The Kinders visited Hope and Todd with the main attraction being a 4 wheelin' mud slingin' trip to the country.  I went along and took a few pictures.

There seems to be no expense we boys wont go to so that our need for adventure will be satisfied.

We were only a few minutes into the ride when Todd called a halt at the lake.

Todd to WA - "Hey, the trail is only this wide up ahead.  Do you think you can drive that palace on wheels through there?"

WA - "I don't know, let me measure."

Nolan always took the trail less traveled.

Nolan bogged down.

WA pushed Nolan out.

Todd was always there to help folks out.

Does anyone remember those moving pictures of Big Foot?  Nolan's gate looks remarkably like the gate of Sasquatch.

WA described how we ended up laying on the side of the trail nearly upside down.

WA - "Here we go loop de loop . . . "

WA - "Here we go loop de lie . . . "

Nolan - "How lame is that!"

WA, Whislting - "Dodged a bullet their, boy"

Nolan went across first, showing that the way was clear on the right side of the puddle.

Todd tries his luck on the left side while Kaden invokes prayer to help him across.

Everyone crashed and burned or wrecked in one way or another but Todd was the only one that had a nasty crack up.

Parker - "Yo, Dad, lemme show ya how!"

Jeremy was the final rider to take the right side of the puddle and get to the other side.

Todd - "OH NO, not again!"

They say you're not really pushing it if you don't have to work on something.

Nolan, always the gentleman, stopped to help a young couple change the diaper on their baby.
