MORE MOAB ADVENTURES

ON MARCH 18TH WE VENTURED OFF INTO THE BEAUTIFUL LAND OF MOAB. WE LOADED THE JEEP AND CLYDE'S FOUR WHEELER, ALL OUR CAMPING GEAR, AND HEADED OUT.

THANKS TO UNCLE BRENT FOR LETTING US TAKE IS SWEET TRAILER. THE TRUCK PULLED IT LIKE A CHAMP!
WITH LIESEL'S NEW CAMERA, SHE SEEMS TO FIND BEAUTY IN ANYTHING SHE POINTS IT AT.

THIS WAS ONE OF OUR DESTINATIONS ON FRIDAY. IT WAS A JEEP TRAIL THAT LED TO THIS TUNNEL CALLED TUSHER TUNNEL.

FROM THIS VIEW IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE ENTERING THE BUTT.

IT'S A COUPLE HUNDRED FEET LONG, AND WAY COLD. IT WOULD BE NICE TO VISIT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SUMMER.

IT'S REALLY TOO BAD THAT WE CAN GET CELL SERVICE IN THE MOST REMOTE OF PLACES NOW, BUT ALSO REALLY CONVENIENT. THERE'S JUST NO GETTING AWAY FROM THE REST OF THE WORLD ANYMORE.

THIS DISTINCTIVE LANDMARK IS CALLED "GOONY BIRD ROCK." IT IS ON THE TRAIL TO GEMINI BRIDGES. THE CLOUDS MADE FOR SOME SWEET BACKDROPS THAT DAY.

AGAIN WITH THE CLOUDS.....

THIS IS ME LOOKIND DOWN THROUGH THE GEMINI BRIDGES. THERE ARE TWO BRIDGES THAT YO CAN WALK ACROSS, AND I'M ACTYUALLY SITTING ON AN OVERHANG, WHICH WILL SOMEDAY BE ANOTHER BRIDGE I'M SURE.

LIESEL REALLY LIKES THE BLACK AND WHITE PICTURES.

THIS TRAIL IS CALLED "LONG CANYON." IT'S NOT A VERY HARD TRAIL, BUT IT DOES GET QUITE NARROW. AT ONE POINT YOU DRIVE UNDER THIS ROCK THAT HAS BROKEN OFF FROM THE CLIFF AND LEANING AGAINST IT. THERE IS NO WAY AROUND IT, SO YOU HAVE TO FIT. YOU COULD SEE SOME SPARE TIRE TREAD ACROSS THE ROOF OF THE ROCK.

THIS IS WHY LONG CANYON IS COOL. YOU HAVE THESE GREAT VIEWS ALL THE WAY DOWN.

I DON'T KNOW WHY I THOUGHT THESE OPPOSING SIGNS LOOKED SO COOL, BUT I DID.

AFTER WE GOT OUT OF LONG CANYON WE DECIDED TO GO TO ARCHES. THIS IS CLYDE (CHRIS HOWES) AND HIS WIFE KYLIE. SHE HAD NEVER BEEN, SO WE FIGURED WE BETTER FIX THAT.

NOTHING NEW TO US, BUT WE SURE DO LOVE IT.

ACTUALLY, THERE IS ALWAYS SOMETHING NEW TO SEE. WE HAD NEVER BEEN TO THIS ARCH. WE WENT TO A SECTION OF THE PARK CALLE THE WINDOWS, AND THIS ARCH IS NEAR BY. THIS ONE IS CALLED DOUBLE ARCH. THE ARCH FORMS A TRIANGLE HOLE THROUGH THE TOP. VERY COOL.

I FINALLY HAD TO STEAL THE CAMERA FROM LIESEL SO SHE COULD BE IN SOME PICTURES. CUTE GIRL!!!!!

THIS IS A SILLOUETTE SHOT I GOT OF LIESEL THROUGH THE DOUBLE ARCH. WHAT A BABE.

WE'VE BEEN TO DELICATE ARCH A DOZEN TIMES, AND EVEN THOUGH IT IS JUST AS AMAZING EACH TIME, WE DECIDED TO HIKE THE VIEWPOINTS FROM THE BACKSIDE OF THE ARCH. VERY IMPRESSIVE VIEWS, AND NOW I SEE WHERE THEY GOT THE SHOT FOR THE UTAH LICENSE PLATES.

NEAT....

AND THAT WAS THE END OF OUR EASY TRAIL DAY. THE NEXT DAY, POISON SPIDER......
