Four of us went quadding leaving Q at 10:00 am and returning 3:00 pm.  Stopped for lunch at a sheltered spot among the rocks.  Saw some tiny purplish ground flowers among the rocks.  Glen is a terrific guide and we followed where ever he lead.  However, at one point the trail ended at the top of this mountain, and as he was looking out to see other trails, Gord took off down the mountain.  Jeanne followed.  Glen said he wouldn't have done that with April on the machine, but as she wasn't there he followed as well.  That left Chuck, relatively new to quadding, at the top.  He was ready to turn around and return the way we had come when Gord went back and had him follow him to the bottom.  Chuck was sure the machine was going to tip over.  He was glad he had been able to do that.  Made the other parts not so frightening.

We ended up at a mine back in the mountains and the road out was flat, good enough to pull a trailer on, and a reason to open the throttle and see how fast the machines could go!

Shortly after arriving back to camp, Clyde invited us to Pie Party so she could get rid of the rest of the pie from yesterday.  What a great couple they are, and what a great group we are.
