Panguitch to Castlerock Campground (I-70)

[BruteForce]

My brothers and I haven't been together in almost 10 years. I invited each of them to come to Utah to do a bit of riding and camping. My youngest brother is a reclusive Math teacher in the Olympia/Seattle area and my oldest is retired Air Force, now IT Tech in California.

We staged at the Panguitch KOA and proceeded North along the Casto/LimeKiln and Fremont 02 trails. En route, we ran into many folks enjoying the trails including a large group from Dallas,Tx.

Our destination was the Castlerock Campground just off I-70.

Total round trip was just over 300 miles on ATV's.

A few photos (well, MANY photos):


Stopping to refuel somewhere past Big Flat, I noticed this Tee-Pee in the middle of the woods. I have no idea how long that structure has been standing.

We noted that somebody had pulled one of the posts out (probably using a winch) along the 01 (mid-mountain) just out of Circleville.

Somehow, along the Fremont 02 heading North, my youngest brother (using his words): "Came off the ATV and rolled". The ATV came to a gentle stop without hitting anything.

My youngest brother had never fired a pistol, so we taught him how to shoot. Both my brothers pictured doing the shooting.

We were teasing my youngest brother because his white shirt was going to be brown very soon!

Awesome! :hail2thechief: Did you camp along the trail or get a motel? Great stuff so far, looking forward to more.

We hauled our tents and sleeping bags and just camped along the trail.

What a nice way to see the outdoors and to do it with family makes it even better.
