Our latest adventure took us to Moab, Utah to bike on our tandem and hike the canyons and mesas of its spectacular red rock landscape. 
Gail and Porter bike the Moab Canyon Pathway past Arches National Park
On our hike of Great Pyramid Loop at Dead Horse Point Park, Porter contemplates the importance of lunch.
Gail at Landscape Arch. Arches National Park has more than 2,000 arches, natural bridges formed by running water but gradually deconstructing due to gravity and erosion.
Amber exhausted herself studying so many biking and hiking maps that she opted to stay in bed instead.
As it turned out, she’d made a wise decision. We got caught in snow and sleet while climbing slickrock.
Always fun: Arches, in the “off season” or weekdays. Hidden Valley trail south of town is fun-petroglyphs to find…..stop by Grand Junction and sign books during one of these outings, OK? Grand Valley Books is independent-but there are others. Enjoy! Rattlesnake Arches is worth a try when the park is too busy (it is west of here, in Black Ridge canyons wilderness)
Mary, I thought of you when we went past Grand Junction, and wish we’d had more time to arrange a signing/reading at Grand Valley Books–maybe next time!
Travelers often forget to share videos of rain or hail–not you–thanks for the check on reality of your endeavors.
Marian, we had Arches in the sleet and snow to ourselves, which was great after hearing that it was so often hot and crowded.
It was hot when we were there but for some reason was mostly Europeans.
Are you never going to sit by the fireside and knit? You two are earth wanderers
in the truest sense of the word.
Julianne, LOL on sitting by the fireside to knit–sounds kinda fun! Hope you’re enjoying a beautiful Spring!
Wow—the views must be spectacular!! Thinking about you both!!
Love,
BLG
Spectacular indeed, Brenda. Thinking of you too with much love!
All I can say is thank God you both have very good knees! As I recuperate from knee surgery, it hurts to think about all you do. Years ago Porter talked about staying vital in life. You have both done that with extraordinary grace! ❤️
Sallie Ann, you and Bob are a continuing inspiration to us in the vitality department! You amaze us with your great and generous work in the Dominican Republic.
Awesome landscape in the video, and a fun posting. Thank you.
Glad you liked it, Frank! Hope your Spring is filled with your own adventures!
Moab is extraordinary.
Jerrie, I imagine you’ve taken some fabulous photos at Moab. What a landscape!
Oh, I love the natural beauty of that area–but I’d pass on the sleet and snow! But I know you two are tough and will have the right gear (Porter Designs). It won’t be long now until the BIG WALK begins from Colorado border to Colorado border. I’m looking forward to the reports!
Thanks, Rosemary, and yes, these shorter adventures are great for testing our gear for the longer ones.
I agree about the importance of lunch. I also like your flashy red and black biking outfits.
Tom, fortunately there was a snack stand not far from the beginning of the Great Pyramid Loop, otherwise we wouldn’t have survived the fairly long hike! ;-D
It’s great to see how much you’re enjoying yourselves and life! Stay warm and dry!
Luckily we have great rain gear. Although the temperature dropped so suddenly on our hike to Delicate Arch we had to work to stay warm! Happy Birthday, Jody!
I love the rain and sleet video … and the beautiful pictures!
bundle up and carry on!
Beth, glad you enjoyed them! Hope you’re having a Spring filled with your own wonderful adventures!
I’m glad to see that Amber has a bike helmet, even if she opted to stay in bed! Hope it wasn’t too slick in the sleet for you two!
Andrea, too funny! Amber was clearly signifying the seriousness of her intentions regardless of the eventual outcome! Hope all is great with you.
You guys are the greatest! So I think you must be related to Trevor Storey, the newest star kid on the Rockies’ roster…
I remember a wonderful trip I took to Arches, back in the 80s. What a beautiful place. Magical.
Nora, glad you’ve been to Arches too! No, we’re not related to Trevor Storey, but glad he’s such a great star for the Rockies!
