Friendly Floridians far from the flora-filled Everglades

Monitor and Merrimac Buttes (Moab, Utah)

I met these friendly people from Florida while they were taking a break from riding all-terrain
vehicles at Monitor Butte. This spot seems out in the middle of nowhere for someone who has
ridden six miles (9.6km) over rough dirt roads, so they were rather surprised to see me
approach on foot. I told them that I had traveled only 1.5 miles (2.5km) to reach this place.
The man told me of an adventure in the Everglades that involved fishing on the bank of a river
while an alligator nosed around on the opposite bank---spooky.

This is one of a series of shots I took of this couple. Subsequent images depict
the action of the woman's right hand. Those photos cannot be displayed here.

Handsome, healthy couple. Odd last name though. A name like Buttes would get your lunch money stolen around here.

Monitor and Merrimac of Miami near Moab....Dave, I think I sense some alliteration in your future.

Those are some funny names, even for Floridians.

S'Funny both their names start with "M" -you wouldn't think they would get along..they must have an ironclad relationship...
