Moab, UT

Heres the new game plan.  When ever I forget to make the time to actually write out a post I'll just list all the thinks I did to make the trip memorable. 

-On zero hours of sleep boarded the plane

-free upgrade from a Yaris to a Rav4, $10 a day, uninsured proven 4x4 capable 

-ate at one of four cracker barrels state wide, we made sure to ask about that one

-had to turn around twice before we got on the right road 

-survived Wellington aka: drove through it without getting a ticket 

-discovered that Memorial Day weekend is the busies weekend in Moab

-ate at the Moab Brewery

-hunted for camp sites, found one on the side of the highway

-went to sleep with the line of: "bro, they're chopping fire wood." While talking about our neighbors camping next to us. 

- explored Arches natl. park

-hiked to the waterfall as suggested by Tyler, great choice!

-missed the turn to the falls and hiked 8 miles in the wrong direction but discovered petroglyphs on the walls

-then directed to the falls (beautiful)

-jumped off the 30 ft cliff there

-continued the hunt for a camp site by driving up a scenic byway and found a spot to camp by castle rock's trail head

-attempted to camp at the base of castle rock

-after coming close to heat exhaustion from 2 hours of hiking we failed to find a camp site at the top due to 80 mph+ winds (Sam still thinks his tent could have withstood it)

-humbled ourselves and hiked back down to camp next to the car

-decided to sleep with no rain fly so that we could see the stats at night and sleep cooler 

-instead we spent most of the night awake being pelted by sand from the on going dust storm

-Rocked slick rock on mountain bikes.

-I (Dane) blew by the warning sign telling riders to beware of the trail for advanced riders only

-Only went over the handel bars once

-Drive up to Layton to stay with G&G Stevenson

-Wished Vic a happy birthday and meet his beautiful new fiancee Imara

-Went to the cemetery where Sam learned all about the Stevenson family, Thanks Grandpa
