One of the most gratifying parts of the work involved with the cabin, is occasionally meeting the guests. We were fortunate to arrive on the day Phil and Lynn Warren were checking out. It is amazing how fast friendships occur based on the common denominator of the cabin. In this photo my son Dane, friends from Phoenix John and Brenda Barry, along with Lynn and Phil Warren from New Jersey. This was Phil's first trip East of West Virginia and he really enjoyed the West. Moab and the surrounding area held a lot of firsts for both the Barrys and the Warrens but the best for us was making their acquaintance and friendship. We look forward to seeing them again some day with friends that stayed behind. The story behind these friends of the Warrens is somewhat typical of some of our guests. Because we are novice hosts, we just ask for the payment to be made in advance of folks coming and this does cause some anxiety amongst some because; as Phil's friends expressed...they hoped there really was a cabin. There is a cabin and we will have to develop a better system to assure interested folks that it does exist. Perhaps a credit card processing system in which they feel more comfortable than just sending us the check. But until that happens, some will have to take a leap of faith. Thanks Phil and Lynn for your kind expressions regarding the cabin and I look forward to posting some of your photos once you send them on.

CABIN: "I left my home in Tennessee at 4:15am to begin my adventure to Moab, UT. After the 2 leg flight to Salt Lake City through Denver from Nashville, renting a car, and then driving 4 hours to Moab we finally arrived at the destination we had anticipated for 3 months.....John & Susie's cabin on top of the mesa on Sand Flats Road. After arriving at the cabin and soaking in the scenery......I realized I would have driven another 12 hours to get there!"
MOAB 2010 026: "This creek crossing was on the descent from Burro Pass toward Warner Lake. Truly one of the most epic and spectacular mountain bike trails on the planet! This photo was taken of my friend Dustin and Miguel as their anticipation builds of crossing this creek at a very high rate of speed."
TRAIL THROUGH ASPEN TREES: "I don't know what Heaven looks like, but I'd imagine it has to look a lot like this."
WARNER LAKE: "There are only a few places in the world that make you completely forget about everything and only focus on the now. This is one of those places."
HAZARD CO TH: "A trail named Hazard County on a day like this....how does it get any better?"
