We got our money's worth anyway, especially out of the rental 4WD Explorer. We started the day as we started our week - in Arches NP. We were really happy to finally do the hike to Delicate Arch.

The Colorado River wayyyyy below - and the road we were on several days ago:
We took the 4WD Gemini Bridges road down and stopped for a short hike out to the parallel bridges - very cool! A view of Kathy and Bob from atop one of the bridges:
Bob thinking about taking a dive:
Me: "Make a pose"
Bob: "I'll do whatever John does"
(pause)
Bob: "Oh crap"
Looking down at the trail below the Bridges:
Yoga on the Gemini Bridges:
Then there was a strong wind!
Sadly, we got back to Moab and read in the newspaper that a guy tried to jump from one bridge to the other, slipped, and fell to his death a few days ago. We were much more careful up there.
Gooney Bird Rock (we decided to rename it Emperor Penguin Rock):
The road down to the highway:
What a great week! We had such fun and saw so many amazing things. Thank you Kathy and Bob!!
