Right...or Left? Left or Right?

Last night Sam and I headed out for another photoshoot ride. She was looking for paths through trees to take pictures of for a school project. We headed east of town going past the temple. We kept driving and driving, stopping here and there to take some pictures. As I was out shooting, I realized how out of practice I am becoming of taking pictures of stuff. It was fun to have the opportunity to get into the groove of it again. I need to do this stuff more often. I mean, I did go to school for it. But then the question arises, what do I do all of these random pictures? There's my dilemma.

The lovely Samantha, and partner in crime:

And a random garage door. (I was going to upload others that I took, but they aren't working. I give up)

It has been raining for the past couple weeks here in the burg. Because of that, everything to SO GREEN! I LOVE it! I love the blue color of the sky and clouds with the green of the fields. Probably my favoritist colors ever.

See? I could stare at it forever!

I took a couple steps into a field for some pictures and somehow convinced Sam agree to make me the subject of her pictures.

and my foot got stuck...

really stuck. But, hey, look at me, I'm still happy!

Yet, I finally managed to pull my foot out of the gloopey mud entrapment. Free pedicure!

Now I was free from the mud, but Sam threatened to leave me there because my foot was too sullied for her car mat's pleasure. Beauty of chacos - Easy to clean! I found a puddle in the middle of the road and got a little off. Enough that Sam gave me the okay to get back in her car, which is all I ask for :) (Well, not ALL...)

Once we were back in Sam's car we were back on our adventure. Just two happy besties taking turns we didn't know would take us anywhere in particulars. We were explorers! Soon we found ourselves in a forested area. So pretty! Eventually the road turned to dirt and we just kept going, curiosity and the beauty of the area giving us the only push we needed.

As we were driving along, I voiced my thoughts to Sam that it would be great if we had a GPS so we could mark where we were and come back again. My follow up to that think was the thought that a GPS would also be nice so we would know where we were...

Eventually, the road we were on started showing signs of water run-off damage, the crevasses caused by the water were getting too wide and deep for Sam's Hyundai Accent. The road was thin, so Sam decided that she was going to drive backwards until she found a wider part of road to turn around in. As she was driving in this manner, we suddenly felt a rough jolt as her rear driver-side wheel dropped into a hole. I got out to inspect and push if needed.

Sam thought maybe Jason could come pull us out. Which he totally could have with his big, powerful Chevy. Except...we had NO idea where we were...

I wasn't sure her little engine could pick her little car out of the rut. Amazingly, it DID! Thank goodness! We wouldn't be stranded afterall! Whew!

Check it, the deep crevasse of supposed doom.

The Accent's puny wheels.

Me, sitting where Sam's car once was. Wha? No problem is too big for the unstoppable duo of SAM AND KATE! No big.

I'm sitting, quite comfortably, in the rut Sam's car and just been in. (With a look that could get me the understudy part for Qausimodo in any stage production of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame. I'll keep this picture handy in case I ever hear about a casting call.)

We finally found our way out of the forest and picked a direction (west). We decided to just keep driving until we recognized where we were. I figured we would end up in Lyman. Or if we did happen to have made it into Wyoming, we could pay Meg a visit. ;)

As it turned out, we picked a good road to drive on. It led right to the wonderful little landmark of BIG JUDS! And heck, why not? Let's just get a little bite to eat.

Er, it is Big Jud's afterall. A BIG bite to eat. Three wonderfully, delicious, creamy scoops each. Yumm!

Right now, you may be making the same realization that I just did. The last few entries have all been about food. Craigo's, cupcakes, cookies, and now ice cream. You may be thinking, "Does Katie do anything BESIDES eat?" Not really. It's the hightlight of my life.
