A trip to the middle of no where!

Hi and welcome to another adventure of mine. Today, Sam and myself took the yellow Jeep out to the sun tunnels. Now the sun tunnels are another Utah odd art work and is directly related to the Spiral Jetty. The wife of the man who created the jetty built the sun tunnels a few years later. They are set up to have the sun come up in one tunnel and go down in another on the bi-annual solstices: summer and winter. She built them out in the middle of freaking no where, as you can see by the fotos. The nearest thing of any significance is the ghost town of Lucin. Lucin was a stop on the original rail bed of the Central Pacific. It was important due to the fact there was water available for the locomotives. I really wanted to spend more time exploring Lucin but as we arrived at the tunnels, Sam happened to notice a tire was leaking air. Nice............ I tell yah, the tires the Jeep came with suck! So, we took some quick fotos and headed back to the parking area at Lucin. Sam showed me how much she has learned in her auto class by pretty much changing it herself. She rocks! So, if you know me, you know I hate not having a spare tire. We took some time to check out a little of the area, snap some more fotos and then we headed home. On the way home I decided I was done with the passenger car tires the factory put on the Jeep so we headed to Big O! Having worked at Napa, I know most everyone in the tire business here in town. I did some negotiating and got me some bigger, more aggressive, light truck tires that lifted the Jeep 2 more inches up. WOOOO HOOOOOO! I am so in the mood to go test them out but it will have to wait a week or so. It sure looks better. One oddity we found out there was another one of those odd concrete phone booths from the 40's. This one was actually in great condition and you could go in and check it out. So, that was today. Someday I am going to have to figure out a way to carry 2 spares like I did in the Ford. OK, that covers it. We had fun and we will return some day. Have a happy Easter all!
