San Juan ATV Safari.....A New Adventure In Blanding Utah

Mike and I have wanted to go on an ATV trip for a while. Blanding is down in the Southeastern part of the state by the four corners area. It is high desert country and once you have been there you can't wait to go back. We already had friends from Blanding when we left. Now we have even more. I see why every one of the kids we know from that area, can't wait to go home on weekends or school breaks.


Our group






The Polaris gave Mike grief the entire time

It poured on us the last 2 minutes of the game. Pretty rainbow considering it was 80+ degrees.
