They say you know its spring in Moab because all the license plates turn green (and its true! I'm pretty sure half of Colorado shows up with their green plates). For us we know its spring because company starts rolling in and the adventure begins! The photo above is Brian and Ben Cooper putting up a new route at "Monument Buttress"-- but I'll let him tell more about their first ascent.
Last week Nicki came to visit and we had an awesome time skiing in the La Sals, hiking at Arches, playing guitar, going to the temple, eating, talking and talking and talking. . .
This is us at Landscape Arch. Unfortunately the photographer forgot the arch. Nicki is the easiest person to visit us. Competely low maintenence, always buys us food and is always cracking us up.
And this week was the JAM (jo, ang, mare) session. We pumped, pumped the JAM and then pumped it up some more. That's right. It was Mary's bacherlorette party (she gettin' hitched in a week and we thought a sore bum would be appropriate). She even wore her pearls the whole time like a champ.
We hiked our overnight packs to Murphy on the white rim (9 miles round trip) and then biked the whole White Rim in two days. Ouch.
Jo and Mary setting up camp. We were lucky it only snowed on us for about an hour despite the gloomy forecast.
Action shot-- check out Jo's wheelie.
All of us at Mussleman Arch. 75 miles done, 8 more to go.
What a great couple of weeks!!
