Too Much Desert Is Never Enough.

Last Saturday was a bang up day down in Moab for so, so many reasons.  But of course, the best being, that is was Marco's bday!  I like having a b-day so close to the bro....., he is an awesome dude and it gives us an excuse every year to try and coordinate a co-bday party.  The last couple of years it has been down in Santa Barbara, this year, Moab...  

Dogs, around a campfire, awesome.

 

 Saturday's pics are horribly out of order, but ohh well.  We all went our separate ways on Saturday between the moto, bike, studying, and hiking crowds.  Then, we all met up in Moab in the afternoon and crushed a sunset hike out to the Delicate Arch to watch the sunset.  Amazing, amazing time. 

 So yes, inquiring minds.  The van was so kickass.  The outdoor shower might just be my favorite accoutrement. 

 Really, really, really happy people.  Marco on his 33rd bday.  Cant wait to spend more days together in your 33rd year brother.  Marco, Me, Meagan, Goodtimes, and Keeley.  

 

 Chels and I started the day off with a couples moto ride out a sweet ATV double track.

 Then Steve and I went and conquered on of Moab's most famous rides that I hadn't been on since college and my mountain biking days.    Poison Spider was still just as cool as I remember it being.

Bitchin view from the top of the Spider, looking down into the Moab valley, the Colorado River, out toward the LaSal Mountains, and down the Portal Trail.  

 After getting back from PS, why not ride right to the beach on the Colorado and meet up with the ladies for a couple of margs and a swim in the mighty Colorado River?  

 Same day mind you......., then out to Delicate Arch.  The crew, racing the sun.

 WOw...

Steve, charging some really steep sections on PS.  You know its steep when you are trying with all your might to keep your front end down and its impossible!
