There is something wrong with all these pictures Dave, they appear to be full of colour. Surely they should all be of a bright red hue.

The only wildlife I saw were a few birds. The two other tourists present were sedate. My excursions to Moab---funded by the Listorama Institute for the Advancement of Physical and Psychic Sciences---do not include time for "sloughing off." In addition, I try to minimize getting sunburned so that my skin stays intact.

I see by one of your links that this is also called the Moab Sough. Is this where you go to slough off? Nice place and very rare in this area. Did you see any wildlife (not counting unruly tourists)?
