Saturday morning we ran "Hell's Revenge" with a group of other Hummers. What a cool sight to see 12 other Hummers on the trail with you. Our trail boss was none other than Dan Mick the "Mayor of Slickrock!" The Orange Beast performed flawlessly, and we arrived safely back at Red Cliffs Resort this afternoon. We plan on heading home tomorrow morning after another lovely breakfast on the patio of the lodge overlooking the Colorado. Here's a group shot:
Luckily, we were in a location that was tow-truck accessible. We had to have the Orange Beast towed to the dealership in South Jordan for repairs. 
Thanks to the quick work of the service techs at the Hummer store, I was able to return to Moab to pick up Melinda and the kids and return home safely.
Today we ran two trails: Gemini Bridges and Bull Canyon. We found a couple of geocaches near Gemini Bridges. Along the way, we saw some great panoramic views and some spectacular scenery. At left, is an example of HDR photography. This picture is actually a composite of three shots. Below is a picture of Elise with the geocache she found, as well as a shot from Bull Canyon looking up at Gemini Bridges.
We are in Moab with our friends BJ, Jaci, Emily, Chris, and Garrett for our annual Easter trip. Today we tackled Behind the Rocks, one of the most difficult trails here. Last year, I failed to make it up this obstacle, which is encountered at the very beginning of the trail. This time, after a couple of attempts, and some excellent spotting from BJ, I made it up! Pictures do not do this obstacle justice. There are huge gaps in the slickrock (my right rear tire is in one in this picture), as well as a nice slick coating of sand to hamper traction. The Orange Beast did not overcome this obstacle unscathed, however. On my first attempt, I snapped off the left rear u-step. Oh, well. No pain, no gain!
