Taking it easy

We decided Wednesday was going to be health day.  We just took it easy and enjoyed the weather, walked around the campground a bit, sat and read in the sun, took a little ride to look at a famous Jeep trail, even took a nap.  Exciting, huh?

The Moab Rim trail is not for the faint of heart, it is a full on modified, experienced trail only, as it goes up over slick rock with up to 4' ledges, no I'm not exaggerating, right along a cliff edge up onto the top of the mesa.  We had looked at it before, but went over to see if anyone was up to the challenge.  No luck finding anyone running it, but got a few good views of the surrounding area.

This is one of those deals where the picture can't do it justice.  If you look hard you can see the black marks from the tires working up the hill.  There is nothing on the left, straight down.  It is hard to comprehend just looking at it that people actually drive up here, and then come back down!  We walked up a ways to take a few pics.

mountain biker far, far above us!

So not much to tell, but we're just having a great time.
