A few taken at our campground.

The first week we were there was the big Easter Jeep Safari week. It's basically a big, redneck, fossil-fuel-burning bacchanalia of Jeeps, ATVs, and dirtbikes. I think our Suburban was the smallest truck in the parking lot.  ;D

I wish I had gotten some pictures of the Jeeps in action - the terrain they drive those things over is truly mind boggling.

And, just for wing, a few more of the Suburban in action.  ;)

Beautiful shots! I suppose now is the time to go, before it turns scorching.

We got pretty lucky - the week before we arrived they had lots of rain and snow, with daytime temperatures not too much above freezing. Every day we were there we had blue skies with hardly a cloud in sight. The coolest day was 12 degrees Celcius, and the warmest was 22 - perfect cycling weather. I hear that the weather turned for the worse just after we left, which is probably the norm for this early in the season.

Late April through May is your probably your safest bet for nice spring weather. It can get pretty hot even in June, and July and August are just stupid-hot.

My first trip to Moab was in late October for the Fat Tire Festival (probably 1993 or 94). Even that late in the season, daytime highs were over 100 degrees F. Not much fun trying to ride a bicycle through the desert in those temperatures.  :P

Welcome back!

PS. BTW, That car dealership question mark turned out to be a new Acura dealership. Pointy building, just like the logo. Somehow we forgot that brand...

Yes, a bottle of 100% blue Agave Corralejo  :) I am having withdrawal symptoms from drinking Palomas each day from 9-9.

I would ask the bar tender at the pool to fill my insulated travel coffee mug (Snowman’s tropical travel tip number 19) with ice, a double shot of tequila, lime juice, and Fresca.
