Castillo De Las Rocas Moab

... Charlie a rest, and to explore what the town has to offer. What we found was a lot of little cafe's and other eateries and of course the usual touristy shops filled with over priced t-shirts and other nick nacks. We decided to eat lunch in one of the many places we walked passed, The Peace Tree Juice cafe, where we shared an Awesome wrap and split a mango tango smoothy. It was a ...

... over the edge to about a 5000 foot fall. Take a look at the photos. It was really cool. We ate dinner at the Red Cliffs Lodge which overlooks the Colorado River. If I ever come back here I am going to stay at the Red Cliffs. They have a working ranch with horses, a vineyard and a winery and a movie museum for all the films shot in the Moab area. They will rent you cabins or hotel rooms right on the Colorado River.

... in Ca, walked almost a mile out a trail and finally home. John IM'd me for a couple of hours tonight- wants to check back into rehab, but will lose job and apartment if he does and took over a year in a shelter to get apartment in the first place, but it is $800 month and he only worked 20 hours this month. He does bootleg movies for spending money but not enough to cover rent! He is extremely depressed, not surprised, and does need help! May 3- Sunday and we hung around here ...

... I can understand why he feels the way he does- I guess his dad was vegetarian when he was a kid and I think he had a lot of bad experiences with vegetarian food, but I really think it's probably come a long way in 20 years! After Madeline left I was eating one of the Boca burgers and I kept telling Silas how good it was and that I didn't even think he would be able to tell that it wasn't meat. I think it was when I said that it tasted like a ...

... on the river around 10am, averaged 10 miles, found a place to camp that night, and then did some hiking before cooking dinner and watching the stars come out. There's definitely a learning curve when it comes to picking camp sites, and we learned to stay away from sand when we camped at Deadhorse Canyon on a very windy night and had to get up and move the tent (in the middle of the night) to avoid all of the ...

... sozusagen auf
seinem Nachbarn.
Moab ist eine Art Outdoor-Mekka: Canyoning, Biken,
Wandern, Rafting, Kayak. Also lag es nahe, etwas davon in Anspruch zu
nehmen: Biken ist definitiv zu heiss....wandern mache ich eh...also
Rafting!
Ein Tag Rafting Tour den Colorado River hinunter, zwischen
den Canyonwaenden!! Es war toll...auch wenn der Colorado River kaum
Rapids hat und die sind wiederrum sehr harmlos, ist es auch schoen, auf
dem Fluss so hinabzutreiben ...

... route on the Sparkling Touch tower of the Bridger Jacks (3 pitches, 5.11-), Thunderbolt on the Easter Island tower of Bridger Jacks (2 pitches, 5.10), East Face on Sunflower Tower on the Bridger Jacks (3 pitches, 5.10+), Rimshot on the Bridger Jacks (5 pitches, 5.11-), and the Kor-Ingalls route on Castleton Tower in the Castle Valley area ...

... We decided to check out Double Arch across the way - this one was cool. It was used in the filming of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Lots of climbing and excellent views over to the Windows and other places in the park. By now we were done so we drove out - the Men at Work song Land Down Under played on the way and it almost made me a little homesick! We decided to head to Dead Horse Point N.P - booking our places for a skydive tomorrow. eeeeeeek ...

... a good 2 minutes walk from the toilet block, which sounds short, but it was that cold! So we layered up, my cycling tights a good choice under my pants, with 3 layers up top then the sleeping bag. Dave joined us in our tent to defeat the cold, a gayness joke had been going around the group, it was funny, a great group of people. Again our tent zip was causing trouble, the only problem with the tents, but we sorted it and got some sleep, it was freezing, an awesome day!

... I ended the evening with a 3 km round trip hike to Utah's symbol, Delicate arch. Although it was only 3 km, it was an uphill climb to get to Delicate Arch, and with my heavy camera equipment and tripod I needed at least three pit stops before making it up to the arch. But it was another very worthwhile trip. If you've driven in the US you might have come across pictures of Delicate arch on the licence plates of Utah registered vehicles ...
