On the way to Moab

We had a great trip down to Moab today, even if it meant battling high cross winds much of the day. Thank heavens for the husband who drove through all of it. At one point, we got out to take photos, and the wind actually blew me down the hill. Yes...it did! I couldn't even get the door open trying to get back into the car, since I couldn't get to the top of the hill to take the photo I wanted!

We geocached along the way, and we enjoyed sharing our hobby with Seba, our exchange student from Argentina. There's a photo here of him with his first cache. Another photo of him shows a building from a ghost town, Cisco, where we also found a geocache. And the third photo is the husband and the rig as we pulled out of Steamboat.

If you are heading to Moab from the east, we highly recommend that you take 128 rather than the more traditional and direct 191. Every single foot of the 45 mile drive is absolutely breathtaking! There is nothing commercial along the way and, at least today, very few cars! It was an amazing drive (if incredibly windy). There are many recreational areas along the way with trailer camping obviously allowed. No hookups, and we don't know if there are reservations required (or accepted). But when we come down this way again, we will check them out. http://www.blm.gov/style/medialib/blm/ut/moab_fo/campgrounds/recreation.Par.91896.File.dat/CampgroundListFeb2013.pdf
Hittle Bottom is in an absolutely beautiful 360 degree views area. We'll look into that in the future. And Granstaff is at the end of a great bike trail out of Moab, but while it seemed we saw trailers there, the literature says "no trailers."

I can already tell, we're going to love it here!
