I'm going to lump the rest of our Pioneer Day long weekend in Moab into this one post: because we didn't take hardly any photos because we didn't cover any new ground.
Saturday: It didn't cool off much overnight due to the cloud cover so it was already 90F at 6:30 a.m. when we left to MTB at Moab Brand Trails. However, also due to the cloud cover, that 90F seemed pretty temperate and pleasant since the sun wasn't beating down on us. We got some sprinkles of rain as we were heading out, and there were multiple rainbows all around us. We were the first people there and didn't see anyone else out on the trail for the first 1.5 hours. It felt really good to be riding again - it had been since May(!?) - I felt strong but a little wobbly until I remembered how to do what I was doing. We did our usual 12.6 mile loop and then H went out for a 20.8 mile road ride when we got done.
Sunday: Overcast and cooler for sure on Sunday (mid 70s F), with off and on sprinkles all morning. H rode 38 road miles; Milton and I hiked Millcreek Canyon. It was super humid (for the desert) and there were not many people at all. The creek was lower but still flowing and Milton took full advantage for wading.
Monday: We returned to Moab Brand Trails Monday mornng, not wanting to drive any further with gas prices still so high. The light was not as gorgeous as it had been on Saturday but there were very few people in attendance, even with our later start.
