Joe and I were thrilled to arrive in Moab and get an invite to do Poison Spider 4X4 trail the very next day. 

Poison Spider is one of my favorite trails because of the spectacular views and because the trail is full of fun stuff to do...there is a waterfall to climb, a wedgy where tires are carefully placed, a mesa to cross, a cave to eat lunch in, an arch, lots of slick rock fins, ledges to crawl, and the funnest of all...sand to play in! Of course, pictures don't do the trail justice. Nor do you hear the laughter or the "Whoo Hoos!". 

I love watching the tires articulate! Terry climbs wedgy!

Dee leads us across the mesa.

Our lunch stop...we hiked down to the cave and to Little Arch.

Of course, whoever goes down has to go back up! 

Looking out the back of Pearl...

There is a side trail to Barney's Overlook. Don't know why its named that, but my what a view on the edge!

We saw Portal and actually zoomed in on Belle...cool!

Arches NP...we zoomed in on an arch and balanced rock.

Leaving the overlook, the edge was on my side...scary fun!

Playing on the sand dune...

Lots of morning glories...

...and prickly pear in bloom.

Timing couldn't have been better...the rains were coming!

It was very windy as we returned home on Potash Road.

So, until next time, happy days and...

HAPPY TRAILS!

Slick Rock Country!

Oh, how I love travel days. Whether going to new places or familiar places, the excitement builds! This past Wednesday was a perfect day for good-times-rollin as it was a bit overcast, no winds to deal with and the scenes along the way were spectacular. Yes, we have traveled this route for two years in a row, but somehow it just didn't look the same. I love to take pictures as we are rollin down the road. Joe always comments how nice it is to see where we have been as he does a great job of keeping his eyes on the road. It's a good thing I don't drive! 

I love this stretch of road through Monument Valley.

We are a couple weeks later than last year...all the wildflowers are gone! Sorry Carol....

HAPPY TRAILS!

 We are all settled in at Portal RV Resort. We are happy! The Tan Clan is happy to have a nice green grassy doggie park to play in. The weather is perfect! And Pearl has already had a taste of some good ole Moab slick rock and a chance to play in the dirt! 

Up next...Poison Spider!
