This morning we woke up to a beautiful crisp morning at 6:30 am. We ate cold cereal for breakfast and headed out around 8:20am, and man were our butts sore-the bones, not the muscles. We had to ride about 30 miles today. Most of it was slightly uphill, so it made for a hard workout. We stopped at a place called White Crack and ate lunch around 12pm. We had chicken salad sandwiches and they were yuummmmy! Then right before we reached our campsite, we had to climb Murphy's Hogback, a very steep long hill. I biked a little of it and had to walk most of it. Wes biked the whole thing....of course. We got to the campsite around 3pm and waited for others to show up. One of the trucks broke down and we were all really worried, but they got it running soon so that was good. We had chicken with pasta and pesto sauce for dinner with cherry cobbler for desert. It was very gourmet. Then some of us did yoga on a big rock afterwards. It was fun and the view was to-die-for-beautiful!
Wes and I love this picture. Isn't the cactus beautiful?
Wes and I stopped for a photo. This is as close to the edge as I will get. It is kind of scary. The road sometimes goes right by the edge.
The beautiful White Rim in Canyonlands
White Crack lookout-don't worry, we were not right on the edge. It just looks like it. The view from White Crack is spectacular. You stand on this rock and look around you and all you see is beautiful pristine canyon for miles and miles. It is really breathtaking. And the pics do not do it justice at all.
Wes is crazy....I will say no more about it...
Some of the group-Carly, Saun, Wes, Brian, Wade, and Danelle
Me riding up Murphy's Hog back. Wes rode all the way up and I think only one other guy rode all the way up without stopping. However Wes had the camera most of the time so I didn't get a picture of him riding up any hills, but he was awesome.

Yay, we did it!
Wes and the great view
Nice smile!
Relaxing in camp
Wes doing the dishes-this is a rare thing in our house. But he is pretty good at dishes when we are camping.
