It was a glorious blue sky, sunny morning. We got up and out fairly early, and headed back to the Sand Flats Recreation Area. Here are some Jeeps starting out on a very extreme trail called "Hell's Revenge." We would need to modify our Jeep in order to do that trail!
Instead, we went back and did the rest of the "Fins and Things" trail that we did a small section of a few days ago.
The trail is marked with white arrows, grey tire tracks, and these fun painted on white dinosaurs, because the stegosaurus has fins on his curved back, and the high spine of a curved hill is called a "fin."
Sun, slickrock and sand...what a fun morning!
Me having fun on a sandy bit of the trail.
Today's family selfie at a viewpoint/bottle feed/diaper change stop.
Rob and Lucas at the same viewpoint.
Lucas considering a career in rock climbing.
Our Jeep tracks in the moist sand...with slickrock scenery in the background.
Look! A dinosaur shaped rock along the trail!
This is what makes this trail fun and exciting...just look where we were going! Those grey lines are where the trail goes across the slickrock.
A happy man and his Jeep...and beautiful scenery too!
A fun photo of the Jeep and the clouds.
And one more artsy photo of some flowers along the trail.
Just to show that we still have a typical baby boy, here's Lucas after a midday shower, after he had a nasty "poo-splosion" when we were back at the trailer for lunch time.
In the afternoon we headed just north of Moab to drive the Gemini Bridges trail. It was rated easy in our guide book, but it was actually quite rocky coming in from the east side. (The west side of the trail was nice and sandy!) It's also one of the busiest roads we've been on, as it's a connector to several other popular off-road trails in the area.
Can you spot Rob and Lucas on top of one of the bridges?
Heres another view of one of the Gemini Bridges.
Check out the lovely red mud on the Jeep tires!
We had another dinner outside on our last night in Moab. Lucas is excitedly looking up at the tree in our campsite.
We had fun with a pre-bedtime visit to the playground at our campground too. What a cool airplane!
Lucas and Rob had fun on the swings too.
