Natural Bridge

This morning while I was packing our belongings Craig filled up the car with the extra oil we brought (and Mark & John changed their flat tire). That's our three-room tent in the background. For lunch we stopped at the fabled Miguel's for hawaiian pizza before heading to Natural Bridge, a 65 ft high natural sandstone arch. In consideration of the heat as well as our aging bodies we decided to ride the sky lift up to the bridge and then hike one of the trails down the hill.

The view from Natural Bridge was phenomenal but I was somewhat worried that Craig would trip over his feet, stumble and fall right off the edge. He of course didn't share my paranoia.

The hike back to our grease mobile was "all downhill", with a welcome breeze and easy paths.

It's a good thing our camera isn't equipped with smell-o-vision because we were both rather rank by this point in the journey.

On our way back home we stopped in Lexington to eat dinner and visit with Shannon, Jason and Aidan at my favorite co-op. I thought it might be fun for Aidan to pour vegetable oil into our fuel tank but had second thoughts when I envisioned him pouring various liquids into his parents' vehicles. Perhaps when he's a few years older.
