Goal #7: Go off roading in Moab (Utah Bucket List)

Moab is one of my favorite places on earth (along with Jerusalem and Provo Canyon). It's like nature's playground. I've been to Arches more than I've been to any other national park. And every time I go, I see people off Jeeping through uncharted territory, crawling over barren sandstone fins like insects on a foreign landscape. The ancient rocks and the newfangled technology make an excellent clash of time. In short, it's alluring. And I've always wanted to do it.

How cool does THAT look?!

And a few weeks ago, I did! I went with my sister and her four kids. We rented a Ranger, since it fit 6 people, and headed out to Slick Rock.

Flying hair, flying heartbeat

This drop was almost vertical!

But we totally conquered it!

Fun, but terrifying. I think I don't need to do it again. I gave my guardian angels a workout and got an adrenaline fix for at least six months.

My dollar for completing this goal goes to the DonorsChoose campaign of one of my students (I teach an educational technology class for elementary ed majors). She's trying to get Chromebooks for her future classroom. So far I'm the only one who's donated, so if you feel so inclined, please help her out!
