Very nice pics as usual. Are you still packing the #28? What all do you take in your pack.

Still packing the model 28
Normal pack load includes 100 oz hydration bladder, GPS with extra batteries, compass, headlamp, 50 ft of rope, two carabiners, map, energy bars, first aid supplies including Sam splint ace bandage and quick clot, cell phone (off for emergency use only), bandana, hand sanitizer, sunblock, titanium spork, tweezers for cactus, duct tape, fire starter space blanket. That is all I can think of without dumping everything out.
I like to have enough stuff that if something not so good happens, I don't perish right away. Most places you will need a helicopter rescue if you need to be rescued in a timely manner.
It makes for a heavy pack, but this area is pretty unforgiving if you screw up

Once the weather gets cooler, I will have clothing to layer

You probaly have one, but I would also have a good flashlight and an extra knife like a Benchmade folder. Also I like to carry a small snare kit and 25 feet of paracord. In the mountains, I add a small fishing kit, but in the Moab area, you are more likely to need the snare.

Today I went rafting on the Colorado river for about 7 miles.
The Humane Society ran a trip for us volunteers and it was great fun, and I got to take some photos from a different perspective. We saw herons, geese, a beaver or two, but no big horn sheep.
Afterwards they had a picnic for us with beer, and fortunately I had the only bottle opener on my car keys.
I am really happy I moved here as there is so much great outdoor stuff to do.

No Randall, just a Spyderco folder, they get nervous about big knives on inflatable rafts.
