Relay for Life t-shirts
I designed these 2009 Relay for Life shirts for Joel's company. I really like this picture of the 'manly' construction workers wearing them. The company wanted them to look like college fraternity t-shirts but still wanted to use the Relay for Life signature purple. It's hard to see in the pic but the circle is made up of cancer ribbons and it is in remembrance of their CFO who passed away last year.

Fry Canyon-Day 4
These are the 'business hours' of the place we were trying to rent gear from in Moab. Fry Canyon is about a two hour drive Southwest of Moab.
One of our Canyoneering guides (Jackson Hole Mountain Guides), Aimee

We rappelled into this crack
This water was 40 degrees. We did one 15 ft. swim and the rest was wading through waist deep water. You can see my dad in the background taking the temperature with his dive watch.
Beautiful slot canyon!
Fremont Indian ruins. Our guides had not previously been up there so later we had to scout a way to get to them.
Hiking and exploring
Me and Dad
Scrambled up to the top of the canyon again
This guy was looking for some water.
This was the rappel down to the ruins. The rope we had was just long enough.
Exploring the ruins
This is just stacked rock...amazing it has stood for so long.
A little color in the desert
The climb back up from the ruins. You can't see them in the photo, but there were tiny Moki Steps at the very bottom that the Indians carved out to help them get up the canyon walls. It was really cool to use them.
This is Newspaper Rock (petroglyph) outside Canyonlands National Park. 2000 years of Indian story-telling here. AMAZING.
A pack of deer in Canyonlands just before sunset. It was challenging driving with them everywhere.
Free range cows everywhere too. We had a face-off with one in the middle of the road. She won.

Slickrock, Hole in the Rock, La Sal Mtn. Loop-Day 3
Entrance to Slickrock mountain bike trail. Do not be fooled - this trail is EXTREMELY hard!
This is another place we stumbled upon. It is a 5000 sq. ft. home built into a huge rock from the 1950's. This place is so quirky. You could take tours of the home but there was also a gift shop, general store, petting zoo, sculpture garden and a small cemetery.
Ostrich and Emus
Cactus
Sculpture made up entirely of golf clubs

Snow on the ground in the desert - WEIRD!
Fins and things!

Arches National Park-Day 2
Pine Tree Arch
Landscape Arch
La Sals in the distance
We stumbled upon a perfect wall for climbing
Hangin out
Hiking in the Devil's Garden
My dad admiring the view
This arch is no more
Famous Delicate Arch - It was a 3 mile hike (about 600 ft. elevation gain) just to see this arch but it was worth it...very dramatic and iconic.
That's me underneath it...gives you some perspective of the scale.
Ute rock art dating back to A.D. 1650 - 1850
The Fiery Furnaces

Moab, Utah-Day 1
These pics were taken on the drive in from Grand Junction, Colorado to Moab, Utah. We had some travel delays that put us in later than we were expecting but none-the-less a beautiful trip. The scenic route followed the Colorado River for over 20 miles and in the distance you could see the La Sal mountain range.
