I hung out with a group of friends from Brazil which was
very interesting, I had a blast. Brazilians are very soulful
people that know how to have a good time. Some of the time
we spoke English and some of the time we spoke Portuguese.
There were representatives from all over Brazil, Belem (north)
Brasilia (middle) Rio de Janeiro (south) Sao Paulo (south)
and others. We met in Salt Lake.
About a month ago, I badly sprained my right ankle so they
called me Bengala (Cane). This was one of my favorite times
in Moab.
We stayed in the Negro Bill Campground,
along the Colorado River about 2-3 miles from Moab,
this is Negro Bill Canyon.

top of Left Hand
A couple of locals at Left Hand thought that I was a Brazilian too,
even though I talked to them for a while, they said "You don't
look like your from around here". (Which by the looks of them,
I took as a compliment).
You can reach the top of this cliff from the Slickrock Bike area.
When I was much younger, my friend Marty came running up to the edge
of this cliff, and accidentally dropped his walkman off from here,
the tape inside exploded and fully unwinded into the air.

We stopped at a cool spot that had this cave nearby.

GREAT Pictures.. always like to come back to this site to see my home town's real beauty. However, your comment about the locals is completely harsh and disrespectful. I don't really understand what is wrong with the way people from Moab look. This was a good reason why we tried to keep Left Hand a local secret to keep self centered people from coming up there talking trash on other people. Was a peaceful, calm place to go and forget about everything.

Thank you for the pics. Moab is my home, but for reasons concerning the law, I cannot return at this time, nothing to serious, just a couple of minor warrants for unpaid drinking tickets, but I am not ready to serve my time yet. Anyways I am glad to see pictures of my home. By the way, I am not totally positive but I think that I was at left hand the day that you took those pictures. I think that me and my dog are in the first picture, and my friend Chuck is the one helping him up the waterfall in the second picture. If so, maybe we'll cross paths again someday without ever knowing. Till then, see you later.
