Enjoyable second trip to the South Buttes. Went up with my girl Anna, and her son and his girlfriend who were visiting from Penn State. Our 4WD Tahoe got stuck in the sand on the way out to Cottonwood Cove. There is this one hill made of deep sand that is a bit tricky to navigate. Here is how we got out of it. Step one: Do not sit and spin. As soon as I realized I wasn't moving....I STOPPED. STEP 2: Put the vehicle in reverse and back down about 100 feet. Stop and shift back into drive and "hit it". I was able to repeat this process about three to four times and finally made it to the top of the hill.

Only drawback to this trip was the wind, which was a distracting annoyance at times. Every now and then we would get blasted with sand. Still, everyone was amazed at the incredible rock formations in this area.
