Finally!
After nearly a month in Moab, we finally made a successful exit on Monday the 17th. Crazy! Sunday the 16th was our last night at our wonderful Lone Mesa Road campsite. It was also the night of the Hunter’s Supermoon… which would have been awesome except for those 50mph wind gusts. Yeah. They get some…

Finally, some mountain biking!
The sun continued to shine on us here in the desert, so we packed up camp and headed for the KlonZo trailhead. Located just east of the Sovereign Trail, this network of trails was created in 2012 and is just for mountain bikers. Michael has ridden KlonZo before but this was a new trail for…
