Relic Run 2012

 "SEVENTIES IN THE SWELL"

San Rafael Swell, Utah

6/28-7/1/2012

This year Amie, Rusty and I made it to the 4th annual Relic Run here in Utah. It was our second time out with the gang and we just had a great time in central Utah's desert. 

Rather than putting this posting off until I have the time to write the story I'll just let the photos speak for themselves and add the details to it when I get the time. I will add another few photos that are currently in development as soon as I get em.

All in all it was an absolutely awesome adventurous 4x4 expedition. Next year there is talk that we might go up around Bear Lake.

All lined up and off the pavement!

Gary's Big Bronco blazing through the desert

A short side trip that Alex and us went on down from Swasey's Cabin

Getting down deep in the bottom of the Swell

One of the old mines we stopped at. The place is covered in old uranium mines.

My amazing partner. I love you so much Amie!

Awesome shot of Jeremy's FJ55 rolling through the desert

19 rigs and only one significant failure on the whole trip. Kurt's blue FJ40 made it though.

Temple Mountain

The view from our cots at our last campsite of the trip, just a little slice of heaven right there.

One of the many abandoned cars that are scattered throughout the desert

Pot luck dinner on the third and final night, dang that was some tasty food!

Last stop refueling and calling the kids. We'll be home in 4 quick hours!
