Moab = Love

*I stole this from Brad and Tricia's blog and made it applicable to ours. Thanks Trish! You're the best at writing!*

A few short weeks ago, Team High Anxiety left for Moab to embark on our first of many jeeping experiences. As you may have guessed, our team name came from the way we feel when we are four-wheeling. Moab has many easy trails to offer, but it also has some very difficult obstacles that require a lot of nerve. The jeep, nick-named Sweet Master (DON'T ask Lacey for an explanation), did great. The team, The Stabilizer (Brad), Heart Attack (Tricia), C.R. or Comic Relief (Gregg), and Stress Test (Lacey), did our best to keep our cool. We had such a great time. We packed in a night river trip, a few hikes, a few jeep trails, and a few obstacles into a few short days. Our greatest challenge was Porcupine Rim Trail. Tricia picked it out of a huge book of trails. This is the trail that Team High Anxiety earned their team name. It was a very narrow trail that dropped a few hundred feet off of the outside ledge. As you can guess, the jeep hugged the mountain side, but the trail was so narrow at times that you couldn't help but feel your heart racing. We finally found a part that we could turn around after about an hour. I don't think we'll try that one again! Team High Anxiety will move on to trails without cliffs, thank you very much. As always, I wish we could have stayed longer. Until next time...and next time we'll pack our Xanax!

They actually got me to drive on the trail called Fins and Things. It turned out to be super fun and it was hard to wipe the smile off my face.

I took this picture while sitting in the Jeep next to the cliff on Porcupine Rim. We were only a few short feet from the edge most of the time.
This gives a good idea of how narrow it was.

I love the look of panic on Brad's face. Well, now I love it...at the time I was scared to death because he was SUPPOSE to be the Stabilizer of the team. I guess tipping towards the edge of a cliff into a canyon will do that to people. Notice no one else is in the Jeep with him.

These shoes were made for hiking and that's just what they'll do...

Moab is SUPER exciting!

Dead Horse Point. It was so beautiful, but eerie how it got it's name.
