Iron

6 year anniversary.
Iron.
At first we were going to go camping down in Ion county but we wanted Ragnar to join us so we decided to check some spots off of our geology scavenger hunt instead.  We went to Devil's Playground up in Box Elder county.  It was rather popular than we expected. But we cooked in our cast iron skillet to make up for the iron part haha!

Derek was enjoying some chill and reflection time standing on top of random rocks.

Looks like a dino...

 

uh... old metal ties on some bones, hanging from a tree...
right before we saw this Derek was making jokes about scary stories and things...

Taking a break from chasing rabbits..

The Ionic rock formation for the area.

But this rock has a few options...

 

And this formation...

The night sky was amazing! Derek got some really awesome photos.

Another year, another weird shoe photo..

And weird art...

The next day we tried to hike Volcano Peak but didn't make it far due to the storm.
The wind almost blew us off the peak!

We've already decided to come back again so we could finish our plans and so Derek can get the rest of the photos he wanted. 

Since we got rained out  from the playground, we went hiking on the east side on the state instead.
It was still cold and windy, with clouds moving in, but we still got a few miles in Iron Canyon.

Ragnar enjoyed herself with chasing squirrels.

And of course, ice cream for the drive back home.
