Moab with the guys

Last summer we had my 20 year High School reunion. During the reunion planning process and afterwards, several of us decided that we really needed to get together more often. Back in February, Vallen Blackburn suggested that we get together and do something. Several ideas were bantered around and we finally decided to meet in Moab for a week to ride bikes, golf, and to play around. So in May, I went down to Moab and met the guys there Tuesday evening. They had already been there 2 days and had ridden bikes, gone golfing and drove jeeps up the rocks. I went with them to dinner that evening and the next day, we got on the 4 wheelers and went riding all day. What a fantastic time: I had not really driven 4 wheelers before and it was such a great time I was ready to go buy some wheelers the next day. That evening we ate and then hit the hot tub. The next day we hiked to delicate arch in Arches National Park which was great as well. We came home that afternoon having had a marvelous time. I’m very grateful that Kelli supported me in attending that event and look forward to doing it again with the guys next year.
