Just north of Moab, we took a small detour and sadly discovered that one of the boxes we were looking for "Winged Spirit" had gone missing.
But our own spirits took wing when we found "HorseThief Trail" letterbox with an excellent hand carved stamp inside!
And then we back-tracked and found another great drive-by box placed during a Moab Letterboxing gathering by a talented 10 year old girl. The "Fish Out of Water" stamp even impressed and inspired my own 10 yr old boys!
We also did some exploring around the Canyonlands area and Dead Horse Point. We were awed by all those impressive, jaw-dropping views.
We got into Moab around 6pm, got set up in a very nice hotel, with a great pool and hot tub, very cool pirate play ground and gorgeous views of the rugged, high Comb Ridge. Right away the kids had a ball playing on the pirate play area. Then we ordered some excellent take-out, including some unique Scorpion Pale Ale, from Moab Brewery, enjoyed our meal, and then took a dip in the pool.
I'm wiped out and heading to bed now, but wanted to upload our photos and experiences of today.
Tomorrow, some more letterboxing around Moab and into Colorado and New Mexico, and then back home to recuuperate and look back with great memories on our week in Utah!
