Bungee Jumping off Corona Arch....really!

Don't you just love it, when you sit down to sketch and it just works! Need to remember that when I sit down and it does not work, that it always circles back- yesterday was a day I told myself I need to do this more often....but with family in tow, I only had time to get the reference points and then finished in the car on the way home.

Jon's Bday wish was to head over to Moab for the day. The weather was good, we were just a half a day away from a very great blustery storm that is hitting today here in Colorado, but Utah is suppose to be getting the brunt of it.

Moab was busy, with the Canyonlands Half Marathon running and nearly 4,000 runners in town. The runners passed us, many in St. Patrick's revelry, as we headed over the bridge, to take the Potash Road on the north side of the Colorado.

The road is squeezed between the river and a sheer wall of red rocks, where all along one section there were at least 50 rock climbers, their ropes dangling in the road, there was no room....

These guys were right above the car, but you know what, that wasn't even the weirdest thing we saw!

We headed down the road to the Corona Arch Trail Head, parked the car and headed up the trail, why is the steepest part of these trail, right at the parking lot!

The scenery was amazing, as it is in Utah...

You can just make out the path of the Colorado in the background, as it weaves itself to Lake Powell...

The slickrock looks like God swirled mud around Utah and then hardened it instantly in waves. Or I say it looks like this is where he put all the left over play dough after he was done creating the rest of the world....

Bow Tie Arch and Corona Arch are about 1.5 miles in and amazing....

And yes there are crazy people above Corona Arch and yes, they are bungee jumping off of it!

We decided the arch is called Corona...

 because you need a few to be brave ( stupid) enough to jump off of it!
