Day 2

Spanish Trail RV Park Moab, Utah

This day was about riding around Moab looking for a place to camp for the next several days.  We began at the Moab Field Office of the BLM.  The man there gave Tim a good map of camping options and some suggestions about where we might stay.

The first stop was along 279.  There were 4 campgrounds but only 2 that could accommodate our RV.  One was along the river. 

We decided to keep looking.  We arrived at Sand Flats.  This is a destination for 4×4 drivers.  There were tons of available sites.  We went for a ride on a 4WD trail while we were there.  We rode on the Fins and Things trail.  The route was slickrock and soft sand.  Slickrock is polished sandstone and it is…well… slick!  The geology was pretty interesting and different than anything else we had seen so far.

A really, really steep decline…the video doesn’t really show just how steep it was!

After finishing most of the trail, we knew we had seen enough of the park. 

The last stop was Ken’s Lake.  There were a couple of really pretty sites with beautiful views.  We would move here on Tuesday.

Earlier in the day, we had received a text for Linda and Dominik.  They wanted to let us know that they were coming to Moab.  They wanted to know where we were staying.  We were waiting to turn at this stop sign and Tim spotted them biking toward us…such a weird coincidence. 

We invited them to stay with us.  The two cycled to the RV after driving an extra 6 miles so that they could bring us beer and Lindt (Swiss) chocolate. 

We made salad and fruit and ordered pizza from Dominos.  They delivered the hot pizza right to our RV.  We had a pleasant evening visiting and telling stories.
