"Now everybody hold still..." Sorry Lawrence, there's one in every crowd and
I (Mike) was the goofball that day. What do you expect when I have to wait a whole day
to get on my bike after arriving in Moab? |

Lawrence found this giant snake below the North Window. I think he said it's
a Western Bull Snake, or...? |

Landscape Arch, the world's longest arch. Unfortunately this is as close as we were
able to get since the hiking trail under the arch was closed due to a recent rockfall.
Wonder how much longer that thing's going to stay up there? |
 |
On our way back from Landscape Arch the gang decided that we needed to hold up this
wall, or...well... Don't ask me, as you can tell I (Mike) have no idea what's going on! |
 |
We spent the first day hiking. Lawrence brought a couple friends from his hotel
group--Desiree and Shawna--henceforth known as the Harsh Sisters, or Harsheen and
Harshette, or Harsheen and Harshish, depending on who you talk to. We got a hiking permit
at the Arches National Park visitor's center, and this is a picture from our (quick) hike
in the Firey Furnace area. Take a look at those colors, you can tell it's fall in Moab. |

Yow, Mike's mug! |

Just us and a few of our friends... Photographers await sunset at Delicate Arch. |
