On September 27, 2014 the High Priests went on their 2nd four wheeling trip this summer. The destination was sights on Little Mountain on the Northern end of the Big Horns. It was a 50 mile round trip and included a lot of fun rough roads and spectacular scenery.
Those that attended all had an enjoyable trip and included Rex Allen, Ed Allred, Leroy Collins, Tom Erwin, Allen Harvey, Bill Karlinsey, Brent Leithead, Bishop Steve McArthur, Jack Nicholls, Joseph Shumway.
Thanks to Joseph Shumway and Ed Allred for supplying some of the photos.
