Saturday & Sunday, August 16-17, 2008
Amanda and I headed to Moab this weekend so that I could pre-run the trail I am leading in October for the 25th Anniversary event and get it into my GPS.
Here’s some pictures from the weekend.

On our way back from Klondike Bluffs we took part of the Copper Ridge trail back to the highway and then stopped by the Gemini Bridges on our way back to Moab.

After making it back to town, we stopped at a local book store (more on the books I picked up in a later post this week) and then had dinner at Zax (Pizza and Beer Cheese Soup) , before heading up to our campsite at Lake Oowah in the La Sal Mountains.

Sunday morning we did a little exploring in the La Sal’s before heading back home. We started off by heading up Miners Basin and then we went for a short hike at the end of the trail.
