In the afternoon we drove to Moab and set up camp in town. Brooke took us for a Labor Day dinner at Dead Horse Point. First we had the chance to look around a bit and see the sunset, while Brooke prepared dinner. We had roasted corn, chicken, melon, bread and salad. It was the first time for me that I tried roasted corn but it was quite good.
Afterwards went back to camp in Moab and went to bed.
Day 9; 2/9/01 ==> Arches Natl. Park.
Today we started with a mountainbike downhill called Gemini Bridges. I did this one last year as well and it was quite fun. Since I knew the trail the guide let me take point and I could really let myself go on some of the faster sections. We past Gemini Bridges and took a look and took also a group picture. Then further down the trail. And at the end the uphill section of 1.5 miles isn't that easy but I knew I could make it so I went first. Later Brooke and Kasia joined me on the top, as well as the guide. The rest of the group decided that they had fun till now and climbed aboard the van that was following us. On the last downhill part I also took the lead but soon I was passed by the guide who was really flying down on some parts. Down at the trail end we waited for the van and drove back to Moab.
