MOAB!!!!!

On Sat. we drove up Rt 313, went off on some gravel roads and two track roads (in a Toyota 4wd truck) until we got to the end of a road. Looking at a map, we were right at the apex of Bowtie Bend right on the Green River. A stunning place to camp. No one else around for miles.

We hung out at camp for the afternoon. We wandered around on the nearby slickrocks and for amusement we threw rocks off the cliffs of small nearby canyons just to hear them bounce and break!! hee hee. It was a beautiful night with lots of stars and not cold. We had a rip roaring fire going. Slept like a rock.

On Sunday, after a leisurely breakfast and packing up camp we drove to the turnoff for Gemini Bridges Rd on 313. We rode down the gravel road (mtn bikes), to a two track and to the bridges. A very interesting pothole arch, divided into two by a failed joint set that fell out. Looked around there for a little while. bf fixed a flat he had. Some folks in jeeps were leaving there when we left. We watched them crawl up some big ledges (looks scary). We decided to see if we could ride to where the trail goes to the bottom of Gemini Bridges. Rode downhill for a few miles on a farily smooth jeep road, it eventually turned into a wash that was rough going. Checking the map and the clock, it was still quite a ways to the end of trail where the bridges were. We decided to turn around as we had a lot of climbing to get back to the truck.

Went into Moab before heading home. Had mexican food at Fiesta Mexicana, which is a pretty good place to eat.

Drove Rt 128, along the Colorado River, up to I-70, then home to Grand Junction.

A great weekend!
