Should I stay or should I go?

Moving today down towards Arizona to start the loop back to Vegas.

An early start though for a bit of guided ATV fun on the slickrock just outside of Moab. We were both buzzing after what seemed improbable ascents and descents in this desert playground. Our guide, an old cowboy and rodeo boy in his youth spoke intimately and almost tenderly about the land of this big sky, big country. There's a draw for me as we drive fast through theses places to pause longer and find their rhythms.
