Moab, UT


This is the view we have in the morning when we step out of the rig.

There is still snow up in the mountains, but will soon be gone, since it really is warming up in the daytime. The drive from Aztec to Moab was very interesting. The roads in New Mexico are not the best and got better as soon as we entered Colorado. Driving along on Route 160 near Mesa Verde National Park, we were just minding our own business as we got to see something I never saw before. There was a really cattle drive with cowboys along the side of the highway. We all hit our brakes and marveled at the site. I should have stopped to take some pictures, but unfortunately did not, however, it will be a mental picture forever. Things were pretty uneventful until we were about 20 miles south of Moab. The landscape changed drastically and we got to see some pretty amazing huge boulders and rock masses. I have never seen anything like it and we will drive back down to take some pictures before we leave here. Just how amazing this place is, we found out a couple of days later when we went to Arches National Park.
