March 22


March 22 – Moab, Utah
The agenda today was a hummer tour of the canyons in the area. They are much different than Sedona or Zion……more rounded. Being in a hummer for this type of tour makes it even more enjoyable because you aren’t bounced around like in a jeep. I can’t even explain what a great trip it was so I’ll let the pictures do the talking. Our guide was a very unique guy. His education is in medicine which he decided to give up to become a guide. But not just a guide like we know them to be. People from all over the country and world for that matter call him to arrange their vacations and he guides them……a good bit of back country stuff. He has had a fascinating life. He said that most of the guides he knows had either been engineers or doctors that decided to make a life change. The link below has photos that I found on the web to help sho
w what we did along with a few of our own.
The second part of the trip was rafting down the Colorado. We have no pictures of our own
because neither of us wanted to ruin our cameras. Soooooo—in the link are photos from the web which are very close to exactly what happened on the trip. We were told the water would be calm so the trip would be easy……well that was the day before the trip. Today the wind picked up significantly which made the trip 75% hard paddling, wet and
great fun.
