A Week Off - A Trip to Moab

It has been almost 18 months that we have served at the St George FamilySearch Center - we will end this mission in December.  After being called to be assistant directors, Theron set out to make our schedule make sense and give us a little breather now and then.  We work a week of nights, a week of days that include Saturday, and a week off.  On this week off, Oct. 22 - 27, we were able to spend some great time with friends in Moab - dry camping in the trailer and riding the RZR.

Look at this view.  Zions is over the ridge someplace.

 The climb and then sitting on top of the world.

Yea, it was a little chilly but what fun.

This is a hidden arch that can't be seen from any other vantage point.

Rich and Wendy Poll, Monfredi's, Simonsens, and three other couples (those friends of Steve's that we commandeered from the Heber Valley mission) all gathered in Moab.

The rides were fantastic - one to the country outside of Moab ending at Tusher Tunnel, the ride called Poison Spider and the ride over the Lion's Back trail.  It's hard to describe the joy of seeing the gorgeous scenery and at the same time be scarred to death looking down the side of a razor back ridge.  These were some challenging rides and Theron loved every minute of it.  I am so glad he understands the dynamics of driving this machine; things could have gone south in a hurry on some of the climbs.  Guess that's why he had the sign put on the back window -- Hang on I want to try something!

I've got to load this page with pictures, because I just can't describe the rocks, cliffs, and vistas.
