    Moab is incredible. Arches will easily take a couple of days, mostly short hiking trails to see the sights, expect lots of people. Canyonlands National Park is even better! Canyonlands is divided into 3 districts, Island in the Sky is closest to Moab. Suggest using Potash Road to get into Island in the Sky versus the main entry from the highway, this will bring you in from the “bottom” and climb into the park via the Schafer switchbacks. Don’t overlook Dead Horse state park, not much 4 wheeling but spectacular hikes and stunning views. Needles district is about 1.5 hours south of Moab towards Monticello. Plenty to see and do in Needles, Elephant Hill is one of the better known 4 wheel trails, again lots of great day hikes. I suggest the following book: Guide To Moab, UT Backroads & 4-Wheel Drive Trails by Charles A. Wells.

    Thank you for the info! I’ll definitely be getting that book as it has been recommended by quite a few people. We’ll probably only be there around Moab for a couple of days so I’ll squeeze in as much as I can.

    Cedar Park Toyota has been great.. Charles Maund not so much.. I had a great service advisor there but the service was seriously lacking.

    Bought the Tundra at Ringler in Temple, won't bring it back for service, as their attention to detail is a bit lacking. Back when I had 'em, took my '93 pickup, FJ Cruiser, and Tacoma into Round Rock, and my experiences there make me glad there is one in Cedar Park now.

    Ass clown alert, Moviehouse and Eatery yesterday.

    On a sidenote, all of you with mothers that are local should take them to see "Tully" today. You'll appreciate her even more....
