MOAB!!

Since Rob and I will probably be living out of the state for the next couple of years when he starts law school, we have decided to take some trips to some of the beautiful places in Utah. One of which was Moab. I have only been there once and it was a long time ago. I forgot how amazing it is. I took a couple of pictures as we were driving to Moab, this one was my favorite

...Just in case you haven't noticed any of the other holes in the rocks in Moab... since there aren't very many. Actually, the funniest thing about this picture is that there really isn't a hole in the rock where the arrow points. Just on the other side of this 'rock' there is a little restaurant called 'Hole N' The Rock'. We didn't go there, so I'm not sure, but I think that there's a hike next to the restaurant that goes to a hole in a rock. Here is some more of the scenery.


Rob's dad really wanted to take us on this fun jeep trail in Canyonlands called Elephant Hill. According to many of the books written on the jeep trails in Canyonlands, Elephant Hill was ranked a 4 out of 10 as compared to to the jeep trails in Moab. I'm definately not a big jeeper, but I've been on a couple of trails with Rob and his family and a 4 out of 10 didn't sound too bad to me.


Rob's sister, Megan, and I rode in the back of Ryan's (Megan's husband) 1984 CJ-7. Don't be fooled by our smiling faces. What this picture doesn't tell you is that while we were going over Elephant Hill, I probably repented 100 times, heard words from Megan I didn't even know she knew, said some myself, and pratically peed my pants. I don't know how Ryan drove over the 'hill' so calmly, the jeep felt like it was bouncing everywhere. Rob kept reminding me not to stick my arms out, because if we rolled, I'd break them. I know one thing's for sure, I'm not going on any jeep trail in Moab over a 2 out of 10. You should have seen the look on all of the girl's faces when Rob's dad said the only way back was back over Elephant Hill. I rode in Rob's sister, Yvette's jeep the way back over. They have a 2008 four door jeep wrangler. Needless to say, I could have taken a nap the way back over, the ride was so smooth. She had air conditioning, a dvd player... her seven year old daughter was even doing word searches and coloring in a coloring book as we went over Elephant Hell. I will have to say, it was pretty much worth it to see the confluence, where the green and colorado rivers meet.



It was really cool to see how different the colors of the two rivers are.


... There will be more Moab to come. Unfortunately, my computer has been really slow.
