MOAB UTAH - Hiking and Warm Sun

Its Monday the 30 of April and we have been in Moab Utah 13 days and counting, we plan to leave this week and start heading North to our new jobs. We will be working at the Rocky Mountain Elks Foundation in Jackson, Wyoming. We will be in the main visitor center selling items.
The hiking and weather has been outstanding these last couple of weeks here. We have logged over twenty four miles hiking in the area. I am finally starting to get my hiking legs back from hanging out the Winter in Arizona.

 We did get away from the crowd with this hike, down a 7 mile dirt road and a extremely steep climb to Tower Arch in Arches National Park Link: https://utah.com/hiking/arches-national-park/tower-arch-trail 

The inscription on the south abutment reads "DISCOV'D BY M. AND MRS. ALEX RINGHOEFFER AND SONS 1922-23." the inscription has led to much controversy because the name "Ringhoffer" is misspelled and the date 1922-23 is cryptic. The Ringhoffer family operated a silver mine in Salt Valley and spent Sundays exploring the surrounding country. The family was probably aware of the arch. It is unknown who actually carved the inscription
