Moab 2008

Me, Beau and Matt hiked up to Sheep Arch. There is no trail so we made one.

Me, Matt, and Beau went down a day early to reserve a campsite at Devil's Garden. Which is one of the best campsites in Moab. The first night we got there we stayed in the same exact campsite we stayed the first night last year. Big Bend #13, I think. It was funny, the same rock that everyone threw was there. We drove around the first day and ate at this pizza place that wasn't too great. The next day we had some awesome smoothies and wraps at The Peace Tree. That place was so good. The guy that called your order was awesome! Beau put his name down as Beau Duke, so when the guy called him he said, "Beau Duke, get ready to ride the turkey rollercoaster!" Love it! Then we went to find Ken's Lake, which was a complete joke! Ken's Lake is like a reservoir that you could swim across in 3 minutes. Lame! So then hiked up to Sheep Arch. After, we went back to camp and made Hobo dinners. And Jon and Link(Russ) showed up. In the meantime I started to get strep throat or something and my voice was all sqeaky. The guys were making fun of me. "Matt would you like to go inside or go through the drive thru?" The next day we hiked to San Dune Arch and Broken Arch where we had to do our traditional "Toyota Jump." Then we hiked all over Devil's Garden. We saw the arch that fell, Wall Arch. They made the trail go up behind the arch which was way steep. We went to a new arch this year called Navajo Arch which was freakin awesome! When we were walking out we saw a rattle snake and had to avoid being bitten. Freaky! I wish I got a picture. Then we went back to camp then went to town to get some food for Hobo dinners. We got back to camp and made Hobo burgers. They were soooooo good. A Hamburger patty topped with Brussel Sprouts, Carrots, Red Peppers, lots and lots of spices and finally covered in melted provolone cheese. Mmmmm..... After that we made some cool flashlight art. Matts robot was incredible!Then on the last day we hiked Delicate Arch and saw a cool lizard and some crows that nested up by the arch. We yelled over to the "echo hall" on the opposite side of the arch. We packed up camp then went to Zak's Pizza in town. Then we came back. It was fun, I just wish that more people were able to go. I think next year we will plan way in advance so people can get time off, maybe we will go to the Redwoods or Yellowstone, maybe Escalante. Well, anything we do, I know it will be fun. Ug, stupid speck on my camera lense! I will have to photoshop that out and clean my camera.
