Moab day 3

This morning we went canyoneering. It was a really nice hike through a canyon with 2 rappels the first one was 90 feet and dropped into a water carved sand stone chamber and the second was a free rappel under morning glory arch. Then it was a great hike through a beautiful canyon.We were running a little early to meet our shuttle so we did a side hike that involved some scrambling and a few rock climbing moves(like we didn't get enough rock climbing on out trip)up to a little cave.

Next we had lunch by the river and did a half day on inflatable kayaks. We hated the kayaks they were way uncomfotable. To top it off we got hit by a horrendous thunderstorm with like 50 mph winds and Michele's boat was wind flipped and she had to be rescued then she was freezing. Luckily our hotel was right around the corner so we just stopped our trip short and the guide finished up the trip by himself but then he came back and taught me to roll a kayak in the hotel swimming pool which I have been wanting to learn forever so we forgave him for making us paddle the inflatables. I can get all but the last little bit of the roll so I will practice more when I get home.
