We started our trip in Moab in a house, and after three days moved into the trailer at the Moab KOA. This was our first experience in the trailer away from home, the first with another person (Seba, our exchange student, and the first in a commercial campground. The first night, we had an amazing sunset that just lit up the mountains in our view.
And then Mother Nature decided to get nasty! It rained harder that night than we had ever experienced, or maybe it only felt that way because we were enclosed in the trailer! But thankfully, we were enclosed in the trailer -- behind us there was a family in a tent. If we could have figured out how to get more people inside our 220 square feet, we would have invited them. As it was, with us in the queen and Seba in the bed made from the dinette, there wasn't any room except the bathroom!
The KOA was well taken care of, and there was a clean washroom. The picnic table probably needed replacing, but given the weather, we couldn't use it anyway. We played poker into the night, and then hit the sack. It was a good thing we'd gotten the steaks cooked on the grill before the downpour. In the morning, we discovered why no one else had their canopy out. Ours had filled with rain and it's just lucky it didn't tear. We won't be leaving it up in the rain any more!
