Our Yard!

We arrived in Moab on May 20th, but couldn't move to our favorite site until the first of June. Once there we were set to watch for deer in the meadow. And how I love roses!.

What a neat reflection in the water droplet!

The mornings have been nice and cool and we are enjoying having our coffee and/or smoothies outside while the deer
also enjoy their breakfast. We saw 6 one morning!

The puppies are quite content There is a very grassy doggie park here where the puppies can play ball off leash as well as the X-pen space on our site at the back (gives them more shade in the afternoon) of the Belle.

Wrecks enjoys a morning nap...

Jack is all go...

Sally has her eye on the birds...

And Dover agrees there is something special in the air!

It's time to wake up little Black-eyed Susan!

And no post about our yard would be complete without pictures of birds. We have at least one pair of Black-chinned Hummingbirds visiting regularly.

Sally must be hiding!

Joe and I have been busy as bees this past week. We have hiked, jeeped, and had an adventure in the sky with some very special people we now call family. More on that later!

This huge bee is certainly doing it's job...what a head full of pollen!

Last week we were having dinner on the patio. What a really cool smiley face!

Thanks for sharing Dee!

Until next time, enjoy!

Up next...

Kathleen, Erja, and me

HAPPY TRAILS!

A Little Work and A Lot of Fun

Portal RV Resort

May 30, 2015

Last Saturday (Dang, time flies!), it was clean-up day on the section of Highway 191 North adopted by Moab's Friends 4-Wheelin'. Dee, Joe, Dave, Richie, & I were responsible for the east side between mile markers 132 & 133.

After the trash was collected, bagged, tied and stacked, it was fun time. I was really excited because the trail for the day was Metal Masher. The name sounds threatening, but we were assured that all the extreme obstacles like Rock Chucker and Widow Maker had go-arounds. We had 3 buggies in our group built for obstacles like these and drivers ready and able to drive them. What a show !

This vertical wall is so tame it didn't even have a name...Pearl took the go-around!

Dee and Nancy eased the approach by restacking logs, limbs, & rocks scrambled by the previous buggy's climb.

That is Jeff climbing Rock Chucker. He built his own buggy.

And Glen made it up on the first try. What a fine looking buggy and he stretched it himself in his home garage.

Metal Masher, without the extreme obstacles, is a difficult and fun trail to do. It is on the north side of town, measures 12 miles and takes 4 to 5 hours.
