It had been less than two weeks since my last visit to Moab but with some convincing from Dave Euler during a hazy industry night, I guess it was a plan. We had less than 48 hours to see the sights so we were determined to make the best of a impromptue trip down south. We left SLC at 5:30 am on Friday and drove straight through until we reached our first stop of the day, Canyon Lands National Park.

9:30 am. With Dave Euler being the orchestrator of this whole trip I left it up to him to map our route through this wasteland of never ending scenery. He mentioned a back route in Canyon Lands called Shafer Road that provides a 33 mile dirt road straight into the town of Moab. This was the beginning of a trip I will never forget.

Somehow we were going to end up on that road down there…

… and then it all made sense.

The Jeep nerds were giving us weird looks, I wonder why?

This is our web developer Fitz, yea you already know him. He was probably looking for a wifi hotspot.

And The Frosting, she holds the set down like whoa.

The mighty Colorado River.

A couple hour later and we finally made it to Moab, which turns out on Friday afternoon is impossible to find a camping spot. So we moved further outside of town to Castle Valley (a win-win) because the scenery just doesn’t quit around here.

Once we setup camp and got rid of our hunger-tudes, we took a hike to catch a sunset over the valley.

Welcome to Castle Valley.

Crew deep.

Castleton Tower.

And a toast to a day well spent.

We were car camping of course we partied, except me, I ate too much candy and had to call it early, figures.

I think Euler and Nelson have you all beat on the #SagaSummer tip.

Seize every moment and live with no regrets.

Day 2: After shaking off the night we made the trip out to Corona Arch.

When we rolled up this group of climbers was busy using the arch as a personal rope swing. Do you see that spec in the picture below, yea we were jealous. Extreme friendships should have been one of my new years resolutions.
