Moab

Wow, I haven’t been on here for a while :) 

Two weekends ago we went to Moab with our neighbors.  It was such a blast.  Austin and I went up early Friday afternoon and we got there about 4:00…there wasn’t an open campsite anywhere.  We spent 2 hours looking and finally we decided to go up this road that was about 20 minutes from Moab and we found an awesome campsite.  It was far from the road, we had no neighbors, and the best part was we didn’t have to pay to stay there.

We spent all day Saturday in Arches National Park.  We did the Devils Garden trail.  It was really fun. We did have a minor accident.  We were taking the trail back to the parking lot, and Lance slid off this rock and dropped about 8 or 9 feet and landed on his heels.  It was kind of scary.  He could barely walk and we still have 3 more miles until we reached the car.  It was getting late into the afternoon, so Austin and Kylie and I went ahead and Austin got some more water, jackets, headlights, etc. and I went and found a ranger to go and help him.  I had just found a ranger to come help us out, when Austin drives up saying Lance was almost to the parking lot.  I guess when were were gone, two doctors came along the trail and had two hiking poles which Lance used to speedily make it back.  It was a blessing I’ll tell you what.  I’m so glad the situation wasn’t any worse.

Sunday we went to one more arch and then went home.  The weather was fantastic and we all had a great time.  Thanks so much for going with us Teeples!
