Day 45 Aug 6 to Moab and Wallsburg UT




mileage 326
total mileage 14,626
camping fee staying with daughter

I was talking to a lady at the Motel while eating breakfast and found that the camp ground that i had wanted to stay in yesterday had filled early in the day. That was why they were in the motel also. While talking I noticed a couple from Nebraska getting on their Harley to leave. I mentioned to the lady that they weren't dressed well for the weather and that seemed to be pretty common for Harley riders. She asked what I would be wearing and I told her an armored, water resistant suit.



I headed North on US-191. The land between Monument Valley and Moab is all canyons, ravines and bluffs. Moab is adventure city for the unequipped. You can go on mtn bike tours, kayak tours, white water rafting, hiking, jeep tours and Hummer tours. Adventure city for the yuppies. It did look like the mtn bikes would be fun though.


I almost missed this arch, I saw a sign for a viewing point around the next turn. When I pulled in I thought this is no good I can't even see that bluff, then I looked up...oops.




I played tag with the rain storms again today and only got tagged a couple of times.

I continued North to Duchene and then headed to Heber City on hwy 40. When I got to Melissas I found they were leaving the next day for a horse show. I'm going to lay over here until Monday or Tuesday, they will be back Sunday evening so that will give us some time.
