Gemini Bridges





Here are some more photos from our weekend in Utah. On Saturday morning we did another four-wheeling trip. We all did a shorter trip to see Gemini Bridges. We started in the valley this time and climbed up to a plateau. At the end of the trail we found that we were at the top of the bridges looking down at the valley floor. With so many children in our group, this was a bit scary because of the height of these cliffs. It was difficult to capture the scale of this amazing place with the camera, you really have to be there to experience it.

I was able to get a group photo with the nifty remote that hubby gave me for my camera. Thanks, honey!

In the afternoon some of the guys went dirt biking. Hubby went on the trip and overexerted himself in the heat. He ended up with a bad case of heat exhaustion. Thankfully it didn't hit him until they had biked to a town where he was able to get inside to some air conditioning. Even so, he was sick for several hours until his body had cooled down and gotten some rest. I am grateful that he was with a group of guys to help him out, and that the Lord protected him. Heat stroke can be so dangerous out in the wilderness.
