This is just a quick note to brag about being on vacation in Moab, Utah, and also link you all with a blog a friend is keeping while she and her family ride out Hurricane Gustav. Meant to post last night, but it's not very easy to get on a computer in the middle of these mountains (here's a pic outside the restaurant at the Red Cliff's Lodge...this does not suck):
Also what doesn't suck, is the hiking and biking and kayaking and everything else to do in the area. Went for a 10 mile mountain bike ride to a crazy beautiful overlook on Saturday, then road biked through Arches National Park yesterday (roughly 28-30 miles) and today it's a 1o+ mile kayak on the Colorado River...yay! Here's a photo at the start of the bike ride - the rocks on the left are named "The Three Gossips" because that's what they look like. So cool.
Now, what DOES SUCK is Hurricane Gustav. It's just strange to be on such a beautiful vacation, in the middle of red rock country, when a family I know and love is bracing for the hurricane, and it's starting to hit.
Since CNN can be way to annoying, here's a link to Sarah's blog as she sits in a house in Pearl River...right where the storm is heading in about one hour...unfortunately, this stupid blog post only emails out once a day and I can't figure out how to get it to post right away, so this is the best I can do!
Hope everyone has a safe Monday!
I'm off...
