Cafe du Monde...beignets and powdered sugar.
9/11/14 Moab Utah
We started out at 6000 ft on the Western Slope of the Rockies to the high desert at 4000 ft. Cruising on I70 when we took a 'scenic byway' on Utah Hwy 128. There were prairie dogs along the way seemingly as curious about us as we were watching them.
We drove along the Colorado River Recreation Area where you could tell the road had recently flooded in spots with red dirt. By the looks of things it was a good thing we went farther into Colorado than heading down to New Mexico. There were a number of rafters in the muddy fast flowing river. We saw some cleaning up after.
It is already 10 degrees cooler at 7:30pm tonight than it was a week ago. We will head over to Dead Horse Point tomorrow frost thing and see if we can get a campsite for the week-end. I just love this country with the red cliffs and canyons everywhere you look.
If you are headed for Moab, We highly recommend the Desert Bistro. We had an excellent dinner tonight.
