I'm going to talk about things you need to make sure you have, some are a given and a no brainier. You need: Your Helmet, riding gloves or and kind of gloves, riding boots or boots (or some kind of good shoes you can ride in). Sun block (depends where you go), sunglasses. Food, towels (if you are going to get wet, or for showers), toilet paper, things to eat with. Clothes (always bring an extra set just in case), bedding things (bring extra), First aid kit, things to shower with (if you have a shower or plan on taking showers). Axe (for cutting wood), things to make or help build you a fire. Bring tools and things you might need if something happens. Their might not be a close store near the area you are camping. Always make sure you doubt check and make sure you have everything. If you even have to have a list so you can check things off, it might seem like it is a waste of time but it might save you in the long run.

We are sailing two 250 four wheelers with a trailer as a package for 3,500. They are Suzuki Okras 2003, I don't know anything about the trail yet but when I find out I will let you know. One of the four wheelers is red, you have to shift it (same with the other one). It has a twist throttle and we have the thumb throttle too. The other one is green, it is a thumb throttle on it, we don't have a twist throttle for it though. They both have little racks on the front and back of the four wheelers. I will but pictures of the four wheelers when we take then let me know if you are interested in them and I will talk to my family about them.
Finally the weather is going warmer. That means time to brake out the toys!! We haven't figured out where we are going for the first trip out. But it will be fun!
One of the best place to go shopping for the food is Winco, watch for the ads you get in the email. They have killer deals in the ads, or you can take the ads to Wal-mart to save money too. But my family mainly goes to Winco. If you don't like Winco, then go where you think is good for your family. But when we go food shopping we like deals, since the economy is don't doing the best. If you don't know what to make or you want new recipes, I have a link you can search for on my blog. All you have to type is camping food or the recipe you are looking for.

This is in Marys-Ville too but, it is another part of Marys-Ville. Some of the trails aloud jeeps and the four by fours ob the trails with the four-wheelers. So keep a look out for on another. They're some signs that help you but always take a map with you. These trails have some shade, and sun, their is more sun then shade though. But that goes for a lot of the trails and areas around Marys-Ville. If you like to camp in the shade and don't like the sun, I wouldn't come here, my dad loved the trails but hated not having shade. If you camp in a tent the make sure can find a shaded area. It is hot all day long. It cools down a little at night, but it still is hot. So if you can't stand the heat or the sun too much I would go some where else. We had a swamp cooler in our trail and we were still hot! So that tells you how hot it gets. But it also depends on what time of the year too, that kind of is a given

This is Marys-ville, this place is very pretty. It is hot, they have camp areas you pay for, they might have places you can stay for free. Also the place we stayed at had showers that was another reason to stay their. This town is small, so small you can ride your four-wheeler to the gas station. They have little rest stops on the trails that have old Mines entrances. But they closed them off so no one can go inside. They have old cabins they lived in and other cool things to check out when you rest and stop. Some places on the trail you stop at have restrooms, so you don't have to go out in the wild. But they aren't everywhere so heads up. The trails here at Marys-ville are long fun to ride, but you might have to go through someones land to get to the place you wanna go. So watch out for their live stock and their fences. If you don't have any four-wheelers, they even have places you can rent them from down there. So don't worry about having four-wheelers come play. Just bring extra water because it does get hot here.

Pictures and Info on some trails and land
This Picture is of land in Roosevelt. If you don't know where Roosevelt is, its maybe about and Hour and half or two hours before vernal. This land didn't have any hills, but there was a couple jumps for those who like to get air.
Now this, this is Five mile pass :)
This place is very hot, its free to camp at. They have little out house things for you go go to the bathroom in. There is no showers, running water, and no power. You can have camp fires at night and or in the morning. But please make sure you don't bring out your own trash to burn from your homes. You can and might get a ticket for it. It have some areas that have trees for shaded camping spots, but first comes first served. Some areas are enough to have your hole family come! But their are old, dead mines that are out there so watch for the signs. One time we went out there I ran into a rattle snake. So watch where you go and where you go to the bathroom at. There is this one spot that I LOVE, it has a hole bunch of hills you and go play on. Like this one, they have one as little bigger then this one. They have smaller ones too, you can go on top of all the hills and ride up top. If you don't like dust or little shad then I go pick any there place to go. There is shade in some spots up on the mountain, were trails are. I would for sure being sunscreen if you come here. Their is even little circle trails your teen can ride on if they are getting on you nerves to ride. But make sure they know what to do if something happens, and how to get back to camp.
You can even bring you dogs with, but make sure you bring a leash or something to hold them for when you leave. Try to get a camping spot that has shade for your furry friend.
