Jeep Trip

Saturday February 2 a group of us took a trip to the Bradshaw trail by way of Red Canyon Trail. Here are some pictures of the trip. Most of them speak for themselves. This first set are pictures taken by Sharon Ranson who was in the Range Rover. There were many flowers blooming and we got lots of pictures. Everyone brought something to eat. Nothing went wrong that we couldn't handle.

On the Red Canyon Trail, we saw two vehicles coming at us. One of the drivers would only say it was a UK military vehicle. He had a British accent. I googled it and found out that it is a brand new design built in the UK for the SAS or Parras to use in Afganistan. They were either testing them or trying to sell them to the Marines. What they were doing over near the Bradshaw Trail, I can't imagine.Qeimg_7729_2 Qeimg_7730Qeimg_7731I think the club should buy one.

Here are a few of the flower pictures. They are in order: Tobacco (Nicotiana obtusifolia), Phacelia crenalata, Rock daisy (Perotyle emoryi), Desert star (Monoptilon Bellioides), Sand Blazing Star (Mentzalia involucrata), California primrose (Camissonia brevipes), Desert sun flower (Geraea canescens), bombs, Ghost flower (Mohavea confertiflora), Phacelia distans, prickly poppy (Argemone coymbosa), Mohave-aster (Zylorbiza tortifolia).
