We just got back from Moab. A great trip with wonderful people.
It's a 24 hour drive for us from northern AL to Moab, UT so we made a couple of stops. We caught up with Steve and Deana (aka Yeller and Mrs Yeller) and Mark (Yeller's neighbor) in Amarillo, Tx.
We proceeded to Aztec NM and The Aztec Ruins National Monument. Those old Aztecs must have been vertically challenged.
WARNING: This was a mixed manufacturer gathering. 😁

We stopped in Blanding, UT and made a trip out to Hotel Rock. The trail was more of a challenge than expected but very scenic and fun.
Yeller was the tour/trail guide. Mrs Yeller's Explorer did amazingly well.

Hotel Rock is a free standing rock structure with cliff dwellings built all around it. It's located on BLM land. One of the pictures shows the ancient fingerprints in the mortar. Yeller is sitting in the entrance to a cave we found that had the fingerprints. The cliff dwellings can be seen in the background behind our Bronco

During the week, I might have seen a video of this, possibly on YouTube. I remember someone saying, “Yes, that’s an Explorer.”

@stout22 it is always a pleasure to spend time with you and your lovely bride. Was so happy when you said you could attend and spent the entire time with us, truly a special time. The place and vehicles are fun, the people make it priceless.

@Mikes Early Bronco any idea what video? Over heard a few comments from passers by, a few thought it was way over its head🤣

Thanks brother. We had a great time. If it were not for the people we wouldn't make the 24 hour drive.

I think Damon or Darwin posted the video on FaceBook. I saw it.

EDIT: Damon posted it on his timeline on Mar 10. (I tried linking to the video but it didn't work!)

Unless a girl drove a line first then they had no excuses ;):cool:
Yeller spotted my wife up a line and all the rest had to line up and do it.
That was fun 🤩

I should have had her slow down so good pics could have been taken, I sucked at getting pics while spotting.

We ran in and out of snow on our way from Hotel Rock. Snow melt makes a mess.
We spent several dollars at the local car wash trying to remove the majority of the mess.

Between Blanding and Moab we stopped at Canyonlands National Park and ran Elephant Hill trail.
That was fun with the famous back-up switchbacks and narrow crack.
We made a quick stop at Newspaper Rock on our way in.
