Oh, Helen, I think you've solved the mystery of why I fell so old sometimes. Tonight is one of those times. Glen and I took Greta on a nice stroll today..... we thought. I have learned from this experience that you cannot believe what you read in all the nice little pamphlets that they put out. The hiking information is all written by professional hikers who think a walk in the park is a 20 mile hike with a 700 ft. elevation increase and a means of repelling out of the canyon at the end. The hike we took today was into Negro Bill Canyon, two miles long. It was described as a great hike for "city slickers". Believe me, this was not Central Park. It was so rough that Greta was crying to go home on the way back!

If you do hike around Moab, be sure that you have sturdy, non-slip shoes, take lots of water and a walking stick. And enjoy the scenery.
