Dirtbag Adventurer finds gainful employment

So I got a job working for the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources - Moab Native Aquatics. I'll be floating the Green, Colorado and San Juan rivers studying endangered fish for the summer. Two nights ago I drove from Bellingham to Salt Lake, slept 4 hrs, and then drove on to Moab. I was tired but stoked to be there.

The dirtmobile held up to the trip with flying colors. 

The next day, Mark Rineer, one of my new housemates, took me trad climbing up Potash road, about a 15 minute drive from our house. Here he is leading 'Bad Monkey Roof' an intimidating crack line that took me a little bit of flailing to accomplish on a top-rope.
