This year for Thanksgiving I visited Levi and Crystal Reed in Parowan, Utah. Along with Becky, (Levis mom) Vance and Jessica Reed and Dalin Reed. There was alot of food, rain and fun. Notice the trash can turkey.
Levi used two tractor hoods and some extra steel he had layin around to cover up the coals on the can because the rain got a little to heavy later in the day. Good thinkin Levi! See the wet logs drying out inside the hoods?
Well, enough about Thanksgiving, this is an outdoor adventure blog right? All the rest of the cookin happened inside, thanks Crystal. The food was great. On Saturday we finally went out to go hit up a couple of hills that were very deceiving and cruise a dirt road to the top of P Hill. On the way out we stopped where Crystal works and this was the view from the parking lot. It was a lot better than this, my camera just wasn't up to the task. Can anyone recommend an awesome camera to buy. I have so many good photo opps and if I do get a pic it usually gets deleted right away because of the poor quality.
Here's the first hill that Levi led me to. Can you see the fence posts on the right side of the hill? Looks like someone didn't want em anymore and decided to climb the hill with there tailgate down. He had no problem with the hill and I didn't think I did either until my rear end got caught up on a huge battery at the top. You can see it on the right side at the top. After backing all the way down twice and tryin different lines, I finally made it.
Almost the same story with this one. The difference was I went first and backed down a lot more than twice. I pretty much called it quits until I saw Levi go up it real easy. I looked at Vance and said "ok...one more time". I took the same line Levi took, which was totally opposite of my previous choice and I went right up.
Here's a view from atop P Hill looking east towards Brian Head. Nope, no skiing, snowboarding, sledding or tubing.
Here's a south west view looking out over the town of Parowan.
And another one of the Liberty posin in front of the little town.
Headed back in for some food.
I actually think it was pie.

It was a beautiful morning to go and it seemed everyone else in the valley felt the same. That's a bit of an exaggeration. There was probably somewhere around 200 people there on all the different cliffs.
My camera died before I could get pictures of everyone that participated, action pics from the bottom or any of myself so I hope you enjoy the few that I posted. 
Here's one of the two tarantulas that I saw that day and one of the two things I saw that morning!
Beautiful landscape...minus Jess.
This was the mini Moab like area behind our camp where we played around a little before we headed out to the trail.
What a bunch of posers.
The biggest poser of them all!
Man I like that little jeep.
Next time Ryan's gona bring his 4x4 quad.
I bet Nick can't wait to turn 16 to get his drivers license so he can run his new truck. Good thing you made the age deadline for the new 18 year old license qualifications.
Here's some shots of all of us taking our turn on the first obstacle on the trail.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot the funnest part of the trip. Well...because Tom and Nick were safe.
What a trooper! And what a good job tyin your gear down!
What a team.
First the plastic fender well liner gets to come out. Then we measure and make our marks.
And then we get to cut.
I left all the boring steps out to show you the end product. Not to bad eh?
This was the intermission between getting both fenders done. Reggie and Halsey wrestling. Halsey always ends up gettin pinned.
We also cut the back side of the front bumper. 
And here it is with a coat of spray on bedliner. There will be more posts on Reggies project in the future. I even think he has a lift on order. So you might even see some action pics soon!
A hoop on the front. So I can mount some lights.
And tabs to mount my Hi-Lift jack. See the lights?
Here's a better view. Notice the two small reverse lights at the back of the rack. Wal-Mart special. Fifteen bucks for the two lights and everything needed to wire it up.
