Shawn Nelson had been wanting to take his oldest daughter, Lucky, to the Toroweap Overlook. We brought Mark and Mikayla and lunches. Shawn brought two Broncos and Lucky drove the other one. Shawn's Bronco started having transmission problems so we left it in Colorado City.
The dirt road is a bit of a slog. It's 2 hours on a dirt road but the viewpoint is great. It's so remote that it doesn't get many visitors. Mark and Mikayla were on the edge and freaking me out of course. We ate lunch and then continued on to the Mount Trumbull schoolhouse.
We drove for a little while and then stopped to do some shooting.
Mikayla almost shot her toe off! She was shooting a pistol and thought it was empty so brought it to her side. She pulled the trigger again and it went off and the bullet struck the ground less than 12 inches from her foot. That was freaky. It would've been a scary drive to a hospital. Luckily, it was just a scare. Then we really continued on to the Mount Trumbull schoolhouse. We looked around and then headed home.
