We went down on Thursday and after setting up camp, we had a lazy evening. We went to Sand Dune arch, but it was a bit chilly and windy, so we didn't stay long.
Friday was a fun day. We went to Dead Horse Point National Park, and on the way tried out a "road" that is on the Arches map that we hadn't dared try in our Subaru. It was a little bumpy, but Mike enjoyed climbing up the rocks in a couple challenging spots. His brother Kevin, wife Shannon and daughter Amelia were with us. Kevin likes to find geocaches and wanted to leave one of his own. We found a great spot on top of a hill on the side of this road that would be just enough of a challenge to make it fun to find. Kevin even let Sarah make the rock "house" to hold it and she took that responsibility very seriously. If you're ever in the area you can find it at N 38° 42.066 W 109° 38.269
We then went to Dead Horse Point National Park. Our friends weren't arriving until later in the day, so we just enjoyed the short trip and let the kids explore. It's something that has to be seen to really appreciate. The drop is 2000 ft and the only thing in the way is a small, man made wall. I got a little dizzy just by looking down. Sarah kept wanting to look over the wall and I had keep a close eye on her. She's very adventurous.
On Saturday we took the kids on a hike near Moab to find a GPS cache that was hidden towards the end. Only half our group made it the whole way, but it was a pretty nature hike. We took a wrong turn at one point and lucked out that it happened to end at a mini waterfall.
On Sunday we packed up our things and then had an egg hunt for the kids. I think the hunt is more fun than what's inside. (at least what I give ;)
Here is the great group we went down with. Kevin and Fam, Us, Anderson's, Brett and boys and the Whitney's. We're grateful to have such a great group of friends, and this live in this beautiful state. Thanks for the fun weekend.
