I'm having some trouble getting video uploaded to Youtube. Here is one that went. Coming out on Silver Stairs.
Did you loop out to the Confluence Overlook?
Ya, we did.
A few pics.
Rendezvous campground. BLM campground just outside the Park.
Devil's Kitchen.
"Damn it ... it's just a gopher snake."
Our fearless leader on the rocks.
On a little hike.

At the confluence overlook.
Last night in the Abajo Mountains at 8100ft. Time to cool off.

Awesome video and photos Jon! How were the night time temperatures?

I think we were all surprised how warm the nights were when camped near the rocks. The second night I had to move my campsite anyways (permit issue), but I parked away from the rocks. It was much better that night. To answer your question objectively...
Friday morning in the BLM campground: 86°@midnight, 66°@6:20am
Saturday morning in Devil's Kitchen: 85°@midnight, 73°@6:00am
Sunday morning in Devil's Kitchen (after I moved): 75°@midnight, 65°@5:40am
Monday morning in the Abajos at 8100ft: 68°@midnight, 61°@6am

More video. I was pulling up the rear so I wasn't able to take much video (except for my GoPro bumper cam). The one exception was SOB Hill.

Carlos, notice the spotting technique:
Larry. He got hung up and I stopped the video to help get him off. So, no conclusion: SOB Hill Larry - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iovSb1MsPVU

Michael Jackson one glove technique???I love objective data, thanks Pappy.
Those of you watching Carlos SOB hill video may have noticed a new spotting tradition has emerged.
This is the modified one glove technique, aka two gloves technique.
Ya, but.... what are the highs? Say at 4:00 in the afternoon!
I didn't have the thermometer hanging during the day. It was around ~95 when I did check. I can say it got up to 134 in the truck Friday afternoon.
Thursday: 103°@4:00, this was probably correct since I was waiting on the group and I did have the thermometer out.
Friday: 96°@4:00, might have been clipped to the back of my chair.
Saturday: 111°@4:00, looks like it was in the truck.
Sunday: 51°@4:00, AC was on and it was hanging on the vent.
Monday: 47°@4:00, AC was on and it was hanging on the vent.
Those temps make me happy that Cruise Moab is earlier in the year. Although, the first time I went in 2010 and camped at Area BFE kind of sucked when it snowed.
Looks like fun! I was in Moab last week and it was HOT too!
