The day started out pretty well. We drove to Brigham City and stopped for fuel. That part of the trip went smoothly and the station was a dream to fuel up at.
Then we started down I15. The traffic was amazingly light, even though it was mid-morning. That lasted until a little above Provo. They are doing major construction there (surprise, surprise). About half a dozen idiots decided to hold a multiple car accident in the left lane. Of course traffic was almost at a standstill for about a mile and a half.
Things got even better when we got off I15. There were two huge truck/trailer things hauling a power windmill tower. It took up one and a half lanes. We got to follow them out of Logan and up the canyon. We had to follow them for ten miles or more before we could pass them.
I'd forgotten what a pain in the ass the road is. It goes from 4200 ft to 7400 feet and then back to 4200 feet. We got 10.8 over that stretch. I thought that was great.
The rest of the drive was uneventful and we got to Moab about 3:30. The 30 amp plug at our spot didn't work, so I used the 50 amp plug and the dog bone. After setting up we went into Moab. The place is packed. Utah is having some sort of 4 day school holiday and everyone came here. We stopped at an ATV place and rented a Ranger for tomorrow. Then we walked around downtown and played tourist. It started to rain just to make things more pleasant.
About 5:30 as we were starting our walk we saw the windmill towers (remember them) go through town.
When we were finished with our walk we started looking for places to eat. Everywhere was packed. We stopped at one place with an hour wait. So we went to the grocery store where we decided to half BLT's for dinner.
The grocery store looked like locusts had hit it. I needed milk and bananas. I had to get 2% because they were out of 1%. They had no bananas.
We had a good dinner and then surfed and watched TV.
