miles today on “America’s Loneliest Highway”.  I wasn’t excited when Bill told me the name – that was scary!!  Well we did have a small bit of traffic, more than I

expected but geez, there is NOTHING for miles and miles.  No livestock, no farm houses, no nothing!  What we did have lots of today were mountain passes!  I think we crossed 6 or 7.  I’ve been up and down so many times today, I was truly ready for nothing but flat land!  I did see ONE male antelope with a nice rack and the scenery today was beautiful.

We crossed into Utah and there was a continuous supply of beautiful red rock mountains, some streaked with gold. I haven’t looked to see how many photos Bill took, but

he’d barely put the camera away and then get it out again. 

At lunch time it was also fuel time, so we stopped at Flying J and filled the RV and ourselves with lunch.  Then it was back on the road.  I was so happy to finally see a sign that read “Moab”.  We came into town from the north where Arches National Park is.  Traffic thru town was busier than we expected as well.  Our campground, Moab Rim RV Campark, is just south of town and sits on a hillside.  We have a view of the red rock mountains out the front window.

We had reserved a full hook up pull through and that’s what we got!  The site was pretty level so Bill put some boards down on the low side and just pads under the high side.  The moment of truth was seeing if the legs would quit complaining that I needed to “return for service” and actually go down.  At first it said the same thing and then changed over to putting the legs down.  Yee Ha!

I put another load in the washer and set things up for 3 nights!  I’m not crazy about one night stays.

For dinner I made cheese tortellini in a red sauce with salads.  Since we are out of cookies, I did 2 mug brownies and that hit the spot! 

I caught up on the happenings for the last 2 days, now to get working on the photos and see what I get posted!
