There aren't many words that can describe how incredibly wonderous and beautiful Moab is. It simply should be on everyone's to-do list, especially if you admire natural splendor. Here are a few of our highs:
- driving through the red-brown canyons that surround Moab
- camping for 3 nights along the rocks with the bare necessities
 |
| - driving through the Canyonland National Park with its majestic views and yet unexplained crater |
- realising that Americans have not yet discovered 1-ply toilet paper (even in campsites)
- getting to hear a musician named Lou play amazing guitar by the camp fire
 |
| - falling in love with Lou's dog "Ruby" |
- going 3 nights without a shower (a low for anyone within smelling distance)
 |
| - getting amazing 4-day unwashed bed-hair |
- seeing the local rock art
- finding the sport climbing spot with the shortest walk-in in the world (literally 1 meter from the car)
- despite the short walk-in, the climbing was scary enough to convert Dez to trad climbing
 |
| - taking time to meditate |
 |
| - being disappointed by misleading signs |
- finding out that Desiree's new tent works
- discovering that a 6 pack of beer at the shops costs the same as one in a bar
 |
| - walking to delicate arch (a breath-taking view) |
- getting on TV
- seeing a wedding party wearing hiking shoes to go take pics at the Delicate Arch
- seeing a double-cab "truck" (bukkie) pulling a 10 meter long trailer, with a Jeep (Discovery) towed behind
- more yoga and jump pics
 |
- enjoying the excellent and friendly service everywhere we go
 |
| - bouldering on the fallen rocks from the red faces high above |
- saying goodbye to Moab (low point)
- listening to country music on the radio (a high)
- almost crying at the lyrics of country music (a low)
