Today's adventure involved going to see a piece of property for sale at the MoonDance Ranch. It was advertised as great Uintas land. Forty acres for $30,000. Sounded like a good deal, right? Well it turned out to be some of the worst land in Utah. See the pic below. So as long as we were out there, it seemed to make sense to go to see pictographs in Nine Nile Canyon. The dirt road from Duchesne was a little farther than we thought, and then was blocked by a big snow bank, so we had to turn around. That's when we realized our tire was flat. And that the jack was damaged in the moving truck incident. And that the wheel was rusted onto the brake drum. The jack wouldn't go high enough to get the tire off so that meant we had to dig a hole under the wheel to get it off. We ended up having to limp all the way to Price to get it fixed. Janene recalled the lesson I taught her when I was sixteen about the proper procedures for changing a tire and we were on our way. Great way to prepare for Mother's Day!

What a bummer! That looks like my incredible mother - is it a compliment to say she could out-do half the men I know?
