Moab Miscellany

Yesterday we took a random drive around Moab, Ut.  It is a small town with one main street geared towards tourists (like us!).
 
 
The town sits in a green valley surrounded by steep, rocky, arid mountains.  Looks cool with all that green, but looks are deceiving. 
 
 
See the tracks on the "Lions Back"?  There is a large, BLM area above town, where ATVs and 4 wheel drive enthusiasts can practice their skills on huge boulders.
 

This unusual home and it's fence are stamped and carved with a southwestern motif.  It is really pretty, and does not look out of place here.
 
This morning we are packing up and heading towards Las Vegas after all.  The terrible heat has cooled just enough that we decided to give it a try.  We will have to stop for one night in Cedar City, just because we limit our driving to under 300 miles a day.
 
I hope everyone has a safe and happy 4th of July...we will try to avoid leading any parades down main street...
