Mt. Nebo Loop

October 19 - Meet my brother Jeff. He comes up with crazy ideas...lots of them. 

This time he roped my sister, Stephanie and I into one of those crazy ideas. However, I must say that this crazy idea turned into a very fun and memorable excursion. He called me out of the blue one day and said "I want to go on a drive through the Nebo Loop and you can take pictures". He made it happen. The Aspen leaves were at their brilliant yellow peak. It was a beautiful drive.

 Well, here's proof that we did actually get out of the van. :)  We were pretty much the only ones driving this road in the middle of a weekday, except one other car. They were two men in their 30's dressed in business attire. They became our interest as we'd pass them and then they'd pass us. For some reason we tried to figure out their story. Were they on a lunch break? In town for business? It wasn't a rental car so maybe one was from out of town and the other was showing him around? What's your theory?  ;)

We turned a corner and there was Mt. Nebo! It's peak is the highest in Utah. It was beautiful all covered in snow.

 From one point you can see the Utah County valley. That is Utah Lake and Mt. Timpanogos in the distance.

 Another of Jeff's crazy ideas. :) He wanted a picture of him upside down in front of Mt. Nebo. I obliged. :)

Here is part of the group from the viewpoint of the roof of my van. :) McKenna and Ryan were actually along for the ride as well. They were such good kids. They stayed in their car seats for the two-hour ride and stayed so quiet. 

There is a short walk you can take to see "Devil's Kitchen"...an amazing red rock formation. Jeff scouted it out for us and counted his steps, but he was way off. :)

Thanks for the crazy idea, Jeff. I can't wait to hear what you come up with next....but I can't guarantee I'll go along with it. ;)
