Weird Shit You See in Moab!
So, yeah, this right here:

isn't the weirdest thing you'd see in Moab. Not by a long shot. Yes, that's ours, isn't it lovely, moving on...
First, the links and other stuff:

First, the links and other stuff:
- Splatman.
- T-shirts dyed with local red dirt.
- Trails with names like "Steel Bender," "Metal Masher," and "Poison Spider," and obstacles with names like "Potato Salad Hill," "Dump Bump" (now, sadly, closed), and "White Knuckle Hill."
- A 5,000-square-foot home blasted into the living rock. With a petting zoo. And sculptures. And stuff. I highly encourage you to peruse the website, because, dude.
- Vehicles with actual six-wheel drive. Oh, and outside roll cages.
- A car riddled with giant arrows.
- Bison. In a front yard. Being held back by a flimsy fence that wouldn't hold a determined day-old lamb in.
- Golf carts with roll cages and four-wheel drive. Okay, it's a highly-modified golf cart, but show me something out here that's not highly-modified.
- Someone backing up Potato Salad Hill. Yes, he made it. No, I have no idea how.
- A snowmobile going down Potato Salad Hill. No, he didn't wreck, amazingly enough.
And that's just a smattering, folks--and just the Jeep Safari.

I CHALLENGE YOUR RED DIRT TO A DUEL!

Date: 2010-04-10 01:49 am (UTC)I think the ep of NCIS in question said there was a hotel across the street from the Wal-Mart in Lynchburg. Ummm - until about last year, there was no such animal. And, actually, the hotel's across from the Target. XD NCIS!Fail! =)
