Mud Bogs

This is the time of year I love. I LOVE Fall and I can feel it in the air! Fall is on it's way!!! lol. Anyway I also love the Iron County Fair! And once again it is here. Its always our busiest time of year. Mike's hunt (or hunts this year) and the fair. Yesterday was the starting of events (besides the Royalties)... the mud bogs. Last year we didn't go, we were hunting. This year we decided to go. It wasn't too bad. However it was the longest one I have ever been to! It was so muddy that it took near the end of the long line of superstocks for an Excursion (I cannot remember how many trucks in each category there was so..) that finally cut all the way through. And only 3 after him and 1 modified. We left at about 10:20 PM and they were just starting the second round! It started at 7. It took forever! They didn't leave until 1 AM!!! And I believe they even took some of it out!! And because August (usually coinciding with the fair) is the "monsoon" season here, we were in the lovely wind (which yes is normal for Parowan, but worse) and some rain. The rain wasn't bad- it was the wind. (I HATE wind except a good breeze on hot days)
My favorite part of the fair events, my in-laws put up and take down the flags, therefore we get in the back which usually is a better view and you don't have hundreds of people to deal with. We just sit/stand in the back of the truck bed! I personally love it!
