Moab Trip

The first weekend in October Nick and I went on a dirt-biking trip to Moab with some of Nick's siblings and their friends. We had a great time! I was really nervous the whole time though. I am fairly new at riding so riding in Moab was a little intimidating. I did well though...ended up with two flat tires somehow! Nick and I even found a dead scorpion in the bathroom drawer of the condo we were staying at. I made Nick check everything of ours after that! Clothes, luggage, bedding...everything! I was pretty worried! Luckily no one was injured that weekend from insects or from riding!
Nick and I at Hurrah Pass. The ride was pretty nice. Nick and his brother Justin waited a lot on us girls because we kept on stopping and taking pictures along the way.
Nick took this picture. It was getting dark but you can see how the rock is balanced on top of the pillar. This was a common sight to see in Moab.
"Hello everyone!"
My hot husband. He is a really good rider. I tell him that I am going to be "professional" like him someday!
If you enlarge the picture, you can see me riding on the other side of the cliff. It's a pretty cool picture Nick took.
These are some cliffs at Hurrah Pass.
Nick looking out at the scenery at Hurrah Pass. It was pretty impressive.
Me, Amber, and Rachel. We all have Yamaha 125's and are around the same skill level so it was fun riding together!
Nick took this picture of this Toyota with the wheel broken from the axle. We saw a lot of jeeps and off-road vehicles on the trails at Moab.
More scenery.
Yet more scenery.
This is a real dinosaur footprint! We went on this one ride that took us past lots of fossilized dinosaur tracks. It was really neat to see all the different fossils embedded in the sandstone!
