June 13, 2013(yes, again)
During our exploration of Moab and the surrounding
area, Matt fell into conversation with a ranger. Somehow, the dude managed to ask if he would be allowed to
drive the four-wheelers he’d seen on the trails. Thank heavens the ranger told him, “No, sorry.” Unfortunately, she did manage to convey
that there was an adventure outfit that had the “best” Hummer excursions. Coming back from the bathroom, I meet
my eager-to-have-a-Hummer-experience son.
Soooo, we did the sunset tour by Hummer. I thought, silly me, that it would be a dignified Hummer
ride off into the sunset. Nope, it
was a Hummer-dare-devil opportunity!
We climbed the Devil’s Spine, Oprah’s Butt (yes, seriously),…hmm, not
remembering many of the other names. (After “Oprah’s Butt”, what’s to
remember?!) Once the initial
“what-the-hell-am-I-doing, I just retired” wore off, we had a blast! The Slick Rock Trail glowed—gold, tan,
red, green, blue, yellow, and rose just to name a few of the rock colors. The sunset was, well, do you remember
the Lifesavers commercial--a father and daughter were watching the sunset--"Going, going, gone." Then, the little girl reverently tells her father,“Do it again,
Daddy." It felt like that. We were exhausted
when we got back home; we slept well.
