A very full day and there is only a very weak wifi signal here at Recapture Lodge.
Departed Moab at 9:30 and almost immediately discovered Wison Arch right along the highway. I had to climb up to it since that didn't happen yesterday. Sand covered rock slopes made the footing difficult, but the view was so worth it.
Passed Hole in the Rock, a passage celebrated by Mormons who settled this region. Didn't bother to stop.
Stopped at a 7-11 in Monticello. Guess we look like locals because a guy asked Steve for directions.
Spent a couple hours at Edge of the Cedars State Park. Fantastic displays of rock art, petroglyphs, photography of the canyons, paintings, ruins of a pre-Puebloan structure and an extraordinary sculpture. The history geeks loved it.
Visited the Dinosaur Museum in Blanding. Fascinating!
Arrived at Recapture Lodge. Perfect place for us cause it feels like home.
Visited Fort Bluff and the information center. It's a reconstructed Mormon village and historical center. They tried to rope us in, but we resisted.
Dinner at Comb Ridge. Excellent gourmet dinner in this little town of 800 people.
Drove to cemetery ridge to watch the sunset and met some great folks from Colorado.
Watched the stars on this black and quiet night.
