Seven Mile Rim & Uranium Arch


This morning we ate breakfast at the Jailhouse Cafe. It was the original Jailhouse in Moab and now serves breakfast every morning, except Tuesday (In case you get the urge to eat there yesterday like we did...and then have your hopes dashed by the "Closed" sign hanging on the gate.) After yummy whole-grain waffles with fresh fruit and lots of syrup we hit the trail! 7 Mile Rim is the name, extreme jeeping is our game!!!! Enter Patrick - There were some hard spots today, some down and ups, and Uranium Arch was scary because we almost fell off. It was one of the things I said I didn't want to do, so of course we went. We survived...I'm learning how to climb down rock and tomorrow will be my biggest challenge. Today I learned to go straight up and straight down without going at an angle, keeping the break steady, walking the jeep down the rock, and that the jeep is capable of doing a lot...A lot of prayers were said today.
