Moab

Due to my vacation time away from work and Tyler's timely dismissal from his work we have made plans to take a trip to Moab, Utah. We arrived last night after a long drive and have spent all of today driving, hiking and sightseeing the many very beautiful sights in Arches National Park. I was glad to bring along Tyler who basically served as my tour guide. I had been here before but I think he knows almost everything there is to know about this place. We went to see the balanced rock first, which is this huge rock that looks as if its balancing upon a thin spire. When we first stepped out of the vehicle it was quite windy and it remained windy all day. And all of the sand blowing around didn't help matters much. Next we went to delicate arch which I must say is the most stunning arch around. Of course there was a bit of hike to get there which was actually kinda fun. It has been very windy all day and when we got to the top of the ridge is was even difficult to stand up straight but it was still fun. It took us about two hours to hike up and down delicate arch. After that we drove some more and went to landscape arch which is another arch that is just very very long across. We weren't allowed to hike right up under it like you can with other arches because it is in danger of collapsing but we did see a hot girl along the hike that Tyler noticed had a hickey. But anyways after the park we came back into town and traversed main street looking at the tourist shops. I couldn't believe some of the rocks and fossilized things they have for sale. But all I ended up with was a Moab t-shirt. Now we are back at Tyler's cousins house where we are staying until tomorrow and it is my turn to take a shower.
