Moab, Utah



Click HERE to see the newest pictures. The first picture here on the blog shows a shot of our SUV and more importantly the license plate, it occurred to me that if anyone who didn't know the SUV wouldn't understand my "white boy" reference. So, it you take a look at the plate you will understand-it spells it out. In the second picture Lori had her chance to kick me off the side of the mountain, it was a straight drop to the Colorado River. We were on a scenic drive (Rt.95) when we stopped to observe the beautiful red canyons and travel through canon after canon, very confusing if you were to try to navigate all by yourself. When we did a little hike about 2 miles it was very evident we would clearly get lost without markers and probably dry up and get eaten by coyotes! After about 370 miles we wound up in Blandings, Utah and would you believe it was a DRY town, and nothing like Haddonfield!!!

Today we had an easy day set up, we were only about 80 miles from our next hotel stop, so we decided to travel 60 miles out of our way to see the Canyonlands Nat. Park. If we were prepared to hike everywhere within the park, we may have seen a lot. But, since the park was under constuction we didn't quite see what we thought we would!

Now, we checked into our hotel in Moab eartly b/c we have a dinner cruise set up that will take us on the Colorado River with a light show on the canon walls. Once today is over, Lori and I will be making our way back home, if you notice in the linked pictures there is one of the GPS that was set on HOME, just a short way from here (over 2000 miles)
