A ROAD TRIP TO MOAB

We're heading out again, this time on a road trip to the Moab area. Friends Mike and Nancy will be tagging along for a 4 wheel drive adventure that starts out on the White Rim Trail in Canyonlands National Park. This is a 100 mile 4WD road that traverses the plateau below the Islands in the Sky district of the National Park. The trip usually takes 2 days and a permit is required for the over night stay. Last year a flash flood destroyed a portion of the road towards the end, so we will probably have to back track and return the way we went in. Here's a photo of the destruction.

If we survive the White Rim, then it's a week in Moab staying in a vacation rental (shown here) and exploring the numerous off road tails in the area. After that it's anybodies guess, but we intend on heading south to the area around Bluff, Utah for more exploring and perhaps discovering a previously unknown Indian ruin.  As is the custom, I will post updates when I have something to say and when WIFI is available.
