Sam planned out a fine overnight backpacking trip for us, to Zeus and Moses, in Canyonlands NP. We spent the day Thursday, driving around Arches NP, car camped that night, and hiked into Z&M Friday. It was gorgeous weather for a hike, and good company.
This was the first time to really test out my new camera, since I drowned the old one. I think it does quite well.
Toots, chillin' on our tour of Arches.

O Day! O righteous day!

There were scads of people, including a junior ROTC group.

Feeling it.
Luncheon: Adam with apple.
Fake selfie.
We started at Alcove Spring, and had a 1000 ft scramble down to the canyon bottom. I only almost fell over the edge once. Everyone else has knees that function.
Hiking along the creek bed.
Arriving at the towers.
Camping on the wash.
I couldn't convince anyone that these are actually fossilized dinosaur footprints.

Cross-country bocce. How many balls can you see?

Hiking back out on Saturday.
Resting before the scramble back up.
We had a great time, and missed the Petes and the Ems.
