Moab

We went to Moab Cyclery with a squeaking saddle issue and we departed with a new Specialized Saddle that was cushy but without springs. The above child's toy was hanging in the bike display room. The guys there do good work. I watched a mechanic perform a test ride on a mountain bike, he ended the ride two inches from the front door with the rear end up in the air all the while balancing the mountain bike - I was impressed!
Parowan Gap, Utah

Summary
The Petroglyphs at Parowan Gap, Utah, are probably the most educational glyphs that we have come across in that some of the glyphs are like hieroglyphics with meaning and they can change in context.
