Spent 3 nights out in S. Utah in an attempt to get back to center using some basic 'adventuring' skills: Rest and Relaxation.
Old and new friends, family, and good times.
I won't bore you with too much commentary, as they say a picture is worth a thousand words...:ylsmoke:
Just got back from the San Rafael Swell and 'The Spot' outside of Moab. I really enjoyed the chair... I would like two in walnut please.
Waiting for the sun:
I chose the LX for the extra goodies that one receives over the LC. I don't regret it. I go to the Toyota dealership for my parts.

I had better finish this up.
After our little adventure, I attempted to sleep in a bit on Sunday and rest. I was pleased when Zander asked, "Are we going to go on another hike?" Obviously his spirits weren't dampened by the previous night. We packed at a leisurely pace, and decided to drive...
The final ascent to the ruins requires a few moves to access. As I was scoping the easiest way up, Zander had sat down on a rock in the shade. As I looked at him, I saw he was sitting next to a metate' very easily in the same spot a Native had 800+ years ago to grind thier Maize.
