Moab

Finally left Vegas and sailed over to Moab, Utah. What a beautiful town! It's surrounded on all sides by massive, colorful sandstone cliffs. An incredibly popular place to live for climbers and mountain bikers alike. 

I joined Eve (She was a member of my camp at Burning Man) and some other cool peeps to climb around in Kane Creek Canyon. Super fun sandstone trad and sport routes. I definitely wouldn't mind spending way more time here.

After a full day of climbing, we headed farther into the canyon for the Moab Grassroots Music Exchange. It's a wonderful summer festival that's hosted on someone's private land deep within the canyon. Local and traveling musicians play and everyone dances their pants off all night. It was such a wonderful experience and I met so many awesomely interesting people. 

There were dogs running around all night having a blast. This one here spent hours on the stage watching the crowd. Couldn't figure out if he was a bouncer or part of the band. Either way he was cool in my book.

I absolutely loved that the stage was built to accommodate listeners who wanted to climb around and watch the show from a different perspective. Very Burning Man-esque, with significantly less deep house music.

Moab is such an eclectic group of people from all walks of life hanging out harmoniously in the Utah desert. A truly splendid town that has my future attention for sure. If only I wasn't so committed to having a constantly changing environment, maybe then I could actually spend a decent amount of time in one place.

Running on an hour of sleep right now, time to get another coffee!
