To Moab UT

From 70 we drove onto 128 down the Colorado river valley It was like driving through the Grand Canyon. Slow going with hairpin turns & no guard rails. Sounds from the happy raft riders rose to us as Peter took over driving. We took a side trip to Castle Valley a suggestion from Off the Beaten Track which Patty Jo gave to us & had belonged to my Mom. Maybe the castle would have been more interesting had we not been so tired. And there was no good place to turn around. Peter did a great job turning around on a side dirt road. We were happy to get to our campsite . The campsite was fine but the state and federal sites are still much prettier but with fewer amenities such as showers and sometime even dump sites.

  2. I just logged onto your blog for the first time and quickly scanned through the earlier posts. I want to visit Utah! The photographs of the starkly beautiful scenery are just amazing. Glad to hear that you're safe and enjoying life on the open road. Best wishes from all the Moores.
