White Pockets

Saturday, April 19, we drove out to White Pockets to ride 4-Wheelers. I really don't know where White Pockets is, somewhere in Arizona, I am usually talking or sleeping on the way out there, so I could not tell you how to get there. But, it was an amazing ride and a beautiful day.

Locke and Carol Sue Ettinger, and Tony and Trudy Whitney get ready for a long day of riding and sight-seeing. We rode over 70 miles that day.

I love this picture of White Pockets, the color of the sky is so unusual.

Robert, Trudy, and Jo stand at the top of these cool formations-----

---while Tony Whitney and Clyde Postma find themselves at the bottom of an abyss.

Robert thinks he is 'King of the World' when he is out in the sticks.

This cool formation, we call the Seashell, or the Corkskrew. It doesn't look very big here, but go down further and see the pictures of us inside.

Robert and Me.

Tony and Trudy looking like newlyweds.

Locke and Carol Sue in the Corkskrew.

Clyde and Jo Postma, can you believe she actually got him to sit still???

We rode all the way to......ummmmm......okay, it's just an overlook. This is part of the Grand Canyon. If you bring the picture up big, you will see the cool bridge, which Robert cannot remember the name of.

More Grand Canyon.

This was Robert's favorite picture. Look how cool the change of color of the river looks where the Paria joins with the Colorado.

All in all it was a fun day. We had a picnic up here at this overlook. The wind was really blowing and threatened to blow us over the side. But we ate our sandwiches and treats, enjoyed the view and then took off for home. We left at 6:30 in the morning and got back home just before 8 at night. And when we go back we will return all the sand we brought home with us in our shoes, socks, clothes, hair, and on our skin.
