Subject: moab First thing, we went looking for the slickrock bicycle trail. We have just
added our bicycles back to the traveling equipment, but we forgot the
helmets. No way were going to ride out on slickrock without helmets. So we took a look for a good jeep trail. The first one we found is called
“fins and things”.

Trip reports

Our WiFi connection in Moab was a little screwy. We could receive email on
our personal address, but only send sporadically, so I had to send the last
couple trip reports out from the business address, not that it mattered to
many. Now we’ve moved on. We’re in Durango. This WiFi seems to be working
flawlessly. Even email. We’re back to normal. I have some cool Moab pictures to send.

Good WiFi connection here. Got in a good day’s work Friday. Clean up and
catch-up. For all the times, and all the years we’ve driven through Moab, this is the
first time we’ve stopped and spent the night here. Time to look around a
little. We hear about the slickrock mountain bike trail outside Moab. It’s the
place to go. We brought our bikes. We went looking for it. We found it on
the hills east of town. We found more than we expected. The slickrock
trail is for expert riders. We decided to walk out on the trail first to
check it out. That was one of the smarter things we’ve done lately. We
didn’t have to go very far at all before we figured out that trail was way
over our heads. We are not equipped to ride that trail yet. There is a
practice loop to ride first to see if you’re ready, before you disappear
into the backcountry. We weren’t ready for that. We watched other people
ride off over the rocks. It looks like such a great trail, winding its way
across the red sandstone. We’d better go study somewhere else first.
