The last of Moab.

Hello and good tidings to all!!!
This is our last day in Moab. We head out tomorrow morning. So our computer will be down for about three days unless we decide to stop for a couple days along the way for some ATV exploring.
These next few pictures are what we have been doing this last week.
This picture is called Stick. It is a game that puppies play. Here is Pancho and Maggie playing stick. No one is ever the winner in stick as it is a chase and run game. Then some how the Stick in the stick game gets lost. No one can EVER figure out how that happens, but it is part of the game so we just accept it.















When we had gone out to ATV at Cameo Cliffs it was an all day trip. Lots of fun. However, upon returning to camp we noticed that someone had parked a rig really close to our camps. I am talking really close. All Chuck and I could say as we drove closer was why would someone park so close to us. Did they not know that there was other camping spots?? What fools, or morons would invade our personal space?

These are the fools or morons.

Maggie belongs to these two humans. This is Shelley and Tiffany. This is the surprise that no one was expecting. What a wonderful surprise to. Shelley is Wayne and Anna's son and Tiffy is the daughter in law. They are just as wonderful as the parents. We are so enjoying this family. They are so so nice and funny. Love that funny stuff. Guess there was no fools or morons!!! Joke is on all of us!!!!















Oh, see that little person on the white sheet? That is the other part of the family. Lydie Anna Rose. She belongs to Tiffy and Shelley. Oh, and of course she is Grandma and Grandpa's girl.
We are all relaxing under a rock and having our lunch.















Maggie. She is so so so cute. I just love this little girl. These people have until tomorrow to decide if they want me to take her off there hands. Somehow I get the feeling that Lidya will have the final answer and that will be a NO. They are the best of friends and she and this puppy hug each other often during the day.















Chuck walked out and got this picture of all of us eating and relaxing. I was not going anywhere as it was HOT and I was sunburned from the day before. We sure do choose places to stop and relax do we not. It is so beautiful here and what could be more perfect than a beautiful place to picnic with friends?? Ok, the most perfect would be to have our family here also, however, someone has got to work so we can be supported in our old age!!! (I think my kids are going to kill me for that statement!!)
















These are the days now before Shelly, Tiffy and Lidya got to us. We are at Tusher Tunnel. Notice we are toasting the stop with Musties!!! It was blazing hot outside, cool in the Tunnel and refreshing with the ice cold Musties. AAAAHHHH.............















This is a canyon that Chuck and I went to searching for a Geo Cache. It was so pretty. It is a box canyon with a pool of water at the end of it.
















This is looking down from one side. Actually, this is the side I accidentally dropped our water container off of. It smashed.
















This is looking up from the canyon floor. Yep, no crows Pancho. (He has this thing about birds, especially crows, he will run after them as they are flying trying to catch them. Yes, barking is included. Damn crows!!)














Oh Look. Lydia Anna Rose sitting on her ATV getting her drink on. Yes, she was talking to me. She is so cute and so even tempered. The only time she cry's is when she gets her hair washed or some damn cactus jumps out and gets her. That has happened only once. It was a sneaker cactus. Chuck knows all about those kind to.
















Cameo Cliffs.

This is a ride that Wayne and Anna took us on. Beautiful. Take a gander at the colors of these cliffs.
















This is called Indian bath tub. Don't ask us why. The tub was dry. That ladder is heavy and there for the duration of time.
















I dont know where Chuck took this picture at. I never seen it. Probley while he was in the tub.Do you all think this is a real indian art work on the rock?
















This is a shot he took while he was in the Tub. Notice our little Quads in the shade down by the road.

















Backside, Wilson Arch.
Wilson Arch is on the run we were doing at Cameo Cliffs. Pretty.















I am giving Duffers a rub down in the shade. She was so enjoying this rub down. If only the shade would extend to her nose!!




















This was so cool you guys. It is an old house built into the rock. Old Corrals still in good shape to. Ready to move in. After you clean out the rat shit.















Part of the old house. Actually, this is the outside of the house. See, Windows and everything.















This is an arch we discovered. I know it looks like an eye, but we had a Mustie stop here so we all named it Mustie Arch.















Chuck went up to Mustie Arch and took this picture of us and the Quads below. That man really likes to be a mountain goat does he not!!! Heck, he gets some dang good pictures. Me, I was making the Musties. I have my priorities. (Chuck taught that to me years ago)















Looking Glass Rock.















Don't let my smile fool you. I was scared shitless to be up there. Notice I am holding onto the dog. Like the dog needed it!! Of course chuck did not get a picture (or he just did not put it in here) of how high we were, but look at the background on the other side of my leg. Yeah, that was high.















These next pictures are at a place that Wayne and Anna took us to called Fins and Things.
I really enjoyed this ride, although I did have to get off alot and walk up hill as some places were pretty steep. (Damm it I hate when I miss out on fun)
This is a fin. This is a picture of Wayne leading us on a downhill fin. It is a bit steeper than it looks, but so so much fun.















This picture is one I had to get off and walk up. Chuck is up and leaning forward on the Quad so the front tires will stay on the rock. Wayne is watching to make sure things go good.















This is a picture of the fins from a distance. NOW you can see how steep they can be. Pretty are they not.














On this fin it is called dinosaur rock. That is suppost to look like a dinosaur.















Chuck taking a picture of a canyon. See how damn close he gets to the edge.
Actually this it the top of Moonflower Arch.


















Fins N Things.
Chuck going up a steep one.
















I could not ride on this ride. Someone has to stay behind when one is riding shotgun and I am the one who got shot off. This is the rest of them coming down a really steep fin. Believe it or not I am a ways away. I had to really zoom in for this picture. It is times like this I wish I had my own Quad as sometimes I get to miss out of the fun stuff. Oh well, cry me a river, take the dang picture and stop being a baby!!!















This is Anna and Wayne keeping the front wheels on Chucks ATV on the rock with a rope. See, told you these fins were steep. See why I could not ride also.















Coming in for a landing!!! This is our last picture for this series. You all take care of each other and we will be up and running soon. Depends on what takes our interest and how long it takes to get to where we set up!!
