Our summer trip to Arizona

We took a trip to Arizona for my cousin's wedding at the end of July. On the way to Greer the Garmin advised us to turn on a dirt road. I knew the area and thought "Oh we have enough time lets try this short cut". You know how that ends....right? The "short cut" was 5.4 miles long and started out friendly. We saw a herd of elk and the sun was just setting. As we left the elk it started sprinkling. The ground started getting soft and slippery. Before we knew it our tires were covered in mud and we had no traction. I ended up getting high centered in some ruts that trucks would breeze by. Katie got in the drivers seat, put the car in reverse, and i pushed the car out. We managed to maneuver the car several times passed some scary mud holes, up hills, and many deep ruts to the main road and listened to all the mud fall off the car. I had to find a car wash down the road and remove all the mud from underneath the car. We finally made it to my Grandma's house with everything intact. Here are some pictures from our weekend in AZ.


I still had mud underneath the car when we returned to CA.
