Our tradition has been to go to Cottle's Ranch(my Grandparents Ranch) in Idaho on Memorial weekend. It is always a lot of fun. This year it rained off and on, but we were still able to fit in a bunch of stuff. Lots of 4-wheeling, shooting the guns, biking, chillaxin', and more.
On Saturday, Spencer and I decided to hop on our road bikes, since there is literally no traffic, which is great for road bikers. We headed on the highway into town, and the closer we got to town the more it rained, by the time we got to town (3miles) it was a downpour. We decided to head back the way we came and it started hailing on us! It was killing my face, finally we reached the ranch and it had calmed down a bit. Spencer convinced me to go climb this hill were there were blue skies. I agreed and it was nice and sunny, it was a long climb, took me about 30 min. but I enjoyed it cause I was warm. Crazy enough we passed another cyclist going down as we climbed! It was fun and we enjoyed the long downhill afterwards.
Saturday night we went to the only restaurant called "Cattle Country" We made reservations, since there were a lot of us. We got an entire room to ourselves it was pretty great!
Sunday, we went and decorated the graves in Malta. My cousin Janica, and Great-Grandparents are buried there. Afterwards, we took a drive through the City of Rocks. We did a little hiking but not a lot, since the weather was changing constantly from warm, to rain.
Overall a great weekend!
