A MOAB QUICKY

Lance has been wanting a Moab trip for just us for a VERY LONG TIME! Combining 2 of his favorite things, Me (for sure) and biking. He has been traveling a lot lately and so after a 12 day trip to New Orleans we took off the day after he got home. It was memorial weekend and the arts festival so there was no hotels and no where to take our trailer so we tent camped. It has been so long since we had done that but I was just going with the flow this weekend. Something I struggle with.

We also could not find a place to camp until we were going through the last camp ground and a lady flagged us down to say that someone from the campground office was saving a spot for some locals but they had not been there the last 2 nights. Then another guy came over to say it's yours basically so we kind of took over a fabulous spot hoping no one would come back to kick us out.

The next morning we rode Slick Rock. This was maybe my 3rd or 4Th real ride. The first 30 minutes or so I was shaking and so nervous. There are some big freaking hills and one small mistake and you are off a cliff. After that I was good to go and really did pretty good! It was about 4 hrs of kicking my butt and I loved it!

The rest of the time we wandered through shops, ate and found a shower at the aquatics center. We were suppose to stay till Sundee but a huge wind storm came in and sanded us completely out so we left late Saturday night. It was a much needed mini break and we loved it!
