I'm amazed that you only take 145 pictures to come up with so many fabulous ones. You sure know how to deal with the sun better than I do.

I'm afraid I used to be one of those too fast ATVers, but we were never around any other people where we rode (that was a good excuse at the time). That is quite the road out the other side - Kelly must have nerves of steel, I can't even do the passenger seat in the motorhome!Jodee Gravelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02247098923871155546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10886995.post-53243346591244681252015-03-25T08:43:51.286-04:002015-03-25T08:43:51.286-04:00So much fun, Al, and great photos!

I laughed out loud at Kelly's hand on the handle, that would be me too if I wasn't driving. One last thought. The only saving grace about slickrock is that it isn't slick. Like rough sandpaper that grabs the soles of your shoes so you can walk up almost vertical slopes. I would imagine that guy died doing something in a vehicle, rather than walking on slickrock.Sue Malonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00332448503740101970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10886995.post-36480273354285234202015-03-25T08:38:38.551-04:002015-03-25T08:38:38.551-04:00You know, we've never been there, but that sou...You know, we've never been there, but that sounds and looks like an interesting place!
