Monday was another beautiful, clear, temperate day, and we three did a family hike at Amasa Back. I love this hike: going up Hymasa to the Colorado River overlook, then returning via the jeep road. It's an acceptable length (just under six miles), never too steep, with some of my favorite scenery in Moab and the potential for entertainment (watching off-road vehicles navigating the obstacles). Plus the trailhead parking lot is ideal for post-hike beers, with all types of outsdoory-types (MTBers, hikers, trailrunners, off-roader, vanlifers, etc.) to talk to.
Later that day, H did a solo 24 mile road ride on the bike path; then we took Milton to the vet to get a bump on his leg looked at (lipoma); then we three went to Spitfire to bask in the sun whilst drinking beers on their dog-friendly patio. We'd all earned it. And we even had a backyard firepit that night, once the stars came out, after dinner at home.
Tuesday we felt quite virtuous, actually. A and M did a 4.2 mile town walk, sticking to their every-other-day-off-leash routine, while H did a four mile trail run. Then we humans did a 25 mile road ride - a little further up the bike path than A usually does. For lunch, we packed a cooler and went to "our" picnic spot above the bike path/Colorado River. And then the afternoon and evening were spent at home, working through our library books and catching up with our neighbor.
