Buggy Ride

Praise the Lord it's warming up!! Spring is here, and I couldn't be more excited to put away my winter jackets. My body has been thirsty for Vitamin D so I've spent the last week outside soaking up every bit of sun I can get. Although it's warm, the wind comes hand in hand with spring out here, and apparently the ranch is one of the windiest places in the country. Yup, that's a true story folks.

HANG ON TO YOUR HATS! 

The wind decided to lay off a couple of days ago so we went for a buggy ride. 

 There she is, in all her glory! 

The buggy is much like a boat on land. It comfortably seats 8, and semi-comfortably seats an additional 3 or so. There is a handy hook up for our ipods too, so we can listen to music while we ride. This buggy accounts for much of my happiness in the summer months! 

My brother-in-law mentioned he had seen a great spot way up in the mountains that we could take our land-boat, but we were in for a long ride to get there. Here are some of the photos I snapped of our journey into the mountains.

This is what they call Jacks Peak. It's located right behind our house.

 You could see for miles at this point!!

See that hole? 

There are quite a few abandoned mines in these parts. Here's a closer look.

Ay yi yi, really??

Yeah, really. 

Nearing the top of the mountain. (I love this picture because it reminds me so much of the Smokey's, where I'm rooted, sort of.)

From the tip top!

L.O.V.I.N.G. Spring. 

Views like this really put things in perspective for a body, huh? So much to love about this place!
