DAY 12...MOAB/HORSES AND RELAXATION

We broke down our camp late, around 11am.  Drove by "penis rock" (above)....lol. From any other angle, it looks like any other rock, but from this angle, well, it clearly looks like a phallus. This was in Arches, NP.

Headed into town and did some laundry and kicked back for a while. I had made a hotel reservation at the Days Inn, and we slipped over there early to relax in/by their pool as we waited for check-in time.
It was nice to take a warm shower and charge up all the batteries to all the electronics. The room was hot, smelled funny, but it would do just fine. We headed out to Red Cliffs Lodge for our horseback adventure.

We saddled up, Charmaine with her horse "White Clay" and mine, "Rojo". We went on an awesome ride amongst the red cliffs seen in western movies. It had been many years since I sat on a horse, so it was a bit intimidating at first. The horse was very sure-footed though. We had a few creek crossings with slippery rocks, and the horse even slipped at one point, but stayed upright and kept me steady. The scenery was beautiful, and it made me feel like a real cowboy...haha!!
