Well today was our first real day in Moab. Since everyone else was arriving later in the day Amber and I took a drive into the La Sal mountains to the east of Moab. They are pretty tall, 12,700 feet, and there is a loop road that takes you up into them. Its alpine conditions up top and there are tremendous vistas of the surrounding desert from up there. In the afternoon Adrian, Catman (Tony) and his wife Chris, Wyobrian and Thunder69 (John) arrived. We sat around for a few hours taking and exchanging gifts. Amber and I brought pendents for everyone along with woodturnings. John and Brian brought a big box full of Mississippi agate and Tony and Chris brought a truck bed full of rock to share. Not to mention that Adrian brought everyone a beautiful groove wrapped cab. After we all went out to dinner. I'm out of time so here are just a few pics. Today we're off to arches. Pretty little gorge. The La Sals. Colorado river gorge. RTH friends. RTH friends. A great pic of Adrian and Amber. [/img]
