Crazy country

September 6th/09 - Moab Valley RV Park
Moab, Utah
Mileage: 102.97 km
Total mileage: 2107 km
Ride time: 5:00 hrs

Mild temperature and good early start. Rode east on the interstate for 18 miles and then turned south to head to Moab.

South to Moab was all downhill. The interstate had some grade, but nothing out of the ordinary.

Closing in on Moab the world started to look different. The mountains, and in particular the canyon we were in started to show very intense color. Mostly a dark ochre, but orange and greens were also apparent. Strange country - shear rock walls that look like huge blocks of modeling clay that were placed on top of each other.

Found a nice campground. I guess Moab wasn't as crowded as we thought. Shouldn't have spent that extra day in Green River.
