Moab - Lone Rock Beach - Zion NP - Grand Canyon - Sonoran Desert

Utah - A playground for adults

Moab hurt my legs
- Day 1
  - Hike to Corona Arch
  - Hike to Landscape Arch
  - Took some nudy photos at the Window Arches
    - Avoided tourist contact
  - Took a shower!
- Day 2
  - Found a BLM camp spot on the Colorado River. It was perfect
  - Rode the famous Slick Rock mountain bike trail with Michael
    - Not for beginners
      - I am a beginner
  - We had a fire and cooked dinner on the Colorado River
  - Slept in our new Poler Tent (Thanks Poler!)
- Day 3
  - Eklectica in Moab is one of the better places I've enjoyed breakfast and a warm coffee. Highly recommended!
  - Biked the Moab Brand Trails (recommended)
  - Took a drive out to the Needles district of Canyonlands
- Day 4
  - Woke up early and headed for Island In The Sky - Canyonlands
    - Last stop for Moab
Kristen and I get some privacy at Lone Rock Beach, Utah
- Drive right up and camp wherever you want
- We met a German couple who were fishing
  - He cooked me up some Bass and we called it a night
Zion National Park
- We hiked 2 miles up The Narrows
  - The river becomes your trail with towering sandstone walls on either side of you
  - Passing other groups with their dry suites and walking sticks, I realized our minimalism reflects our strong will... and also our purple legs
Spent another night at Lone Rock, UT
Took a drive through Grand Canyon National Park
My meals have consisted of Tuna, Oatmeal, Free Chips and salsa from Mexican Restaurants, and steamed veggies.
Oh, and beer
Hunting for Cactus in the Sonoran Desert turned out easier than expected
- They grow in abundance right off the highway
5,000 miles of all-american road have been covered

Now headed for a Mexican restaurant on the boarder - Free chips and salsa, here I come!

See y'all somewhere!
