Placeholder summary posting. Details later.
- woke to a glorious morning, got on the road at 9:30 for a long drive of more than 300 mies to Moab
- discovered that the shoe tree we saw in 2001 is gone, but another one replaced 100 miles away
- spectacular desert scenery ended in Utah, but on I-70/50 it was replaced by equally spectacular scenery of canyons, etc. wow. What a drive.
- 2:30... oops, there's a storm i see headed where we are headed
- decided to bivouac at 6:39 for the night at Green River Stare Park because we lost an hour and i want to beat the storm. We'll make up the extra 40 miles tomorrow, or sometime
- see other postings for the info on the storm.
Photos for the day...
Cave Lake..
Our camp at Cave Lake with its balcony view
The Defender navigating the canyons from Cave Lake. I felt like i was about to be ambushed by some Indians or Calvary
Erde sticking close to home on a break
The wonderful drive along 50... Imagine three days of scenery like this. I never tired if it. Best drive of whole trip.
US 6, on which Jack Kirouac started his own road trip, and which is near where i grew up in NY, runs for a while with US 50, which runs right by my door in DC, still 2600 miles distant.
The new shoe tree...
Finally, Erde wandered from the Defender on a break when she found something of interest to her.
Spectacular scenery along I70/50 ...taken at 70mph
I need to find out why they call this Ghost Rock..
