My sister has a Wii which she and I play on whenever we can wrestle it away from her boys. DHS is now testing this technology for use in airport screening. My question is… will we be able to play SSX Blur snowboarding while the scans are being done? Read more about it here… New security system uses Wii technology and worries GOP
As unbelievable is it seems, yes, there is snow right now in the small paradox valley of Moab. No body here expects it to last through the weekend on the valley floor and benches, but you should see those La Sals! Beautiful blue snow capped peaks right outside of town. Soon, cross country and back country skiers, snow shoe enthusiasts, and snow mobiles will be in the mountains around Moab. If you would like to come and see what winter activities in Moab are like, we can help. Tag-A-Long maintains 2 huts through out the winter for people to stay in while exploring the La Sals. Give us a call 800-453-3292 or e-mail tagalong@tagalong.com for more information.

Check out this video some guests took while going through Whites Rapid on the Scenic Splash section of the Colorado River. Although easily avoidable, this wave is fun for those who want a bit of excitement on an otherwise calm and splashy trip.
We just received this e-mail note from one of our customers…

Hi,
We just wanted to thank you for a fantastic vacation in Moab.
Everything was great, including the motel (Aarchway) which was very nice for the price, the rafting (Will was a great guide)!!! was a blast, the jet boat (Doug was awesome) was really nice scenary, and the 4×4 to Arches back country (Alex was phenomenal!) was really great, especially seeing the dinosaur footprints and finally the horseback riding at the Red Cliffs was well done.
We’ll definitely contact you again on our next trip out west!
