As I sort of expected yesterday didn't have much to talk about, We just traveled from Mountain Home to Springville, Utah. Stayed at a place called East Bay RV Resort. We stayed at the same place 2 years ago. Nice place just off the freeway. Charlie liked it because he got to go for a long walk. There was a nice black and white cat hunting across the drive. It was a really long drive (for me) yesterday 345 miles. Elaine thinks I'm a wimp. :) :)
We left there today on the way to Moab, Utah. The drive was kind of sneaky up. We ended up at the summit at 7500 feet. Then it was slow down to here, around 4500 feet. I told Sue we should have stopped and hit a golf ball up there. Most of the drive was just driving. Utah doesn't seem to have many rest stops. Charlie was upset. We finally pulled off at an exit and had lunch.
As we were coming into the area we saw a RV place that looked OK. I thought it said cable TV. We were headed into Moab to another place so we kept going. Well that place looked bad so we went backwards about 7 miles. Well they didn't have cable so we went forwards back to Moab. Opps.... We got stuck in a cattle drive. Yes a Cattle Drive. Seems that they had a small bunch of Cattle that needed to get from Moab across the Colorado River. There is only one bridge, so they stooped traffic for a few minutes. You could tell that the cows crossed the bridge as they left, shall we say a sign.
Anyway after we got back to Moab again we found a really nice place called Spanish Trail RV Park, Three miles south of the McDonalds in Moab. Turns out this is a really nice place. Charlie likes it. Cable TV, good Internet and a nice view. So we are now hunkered in and watching TV. Sue has a cold so she is happy to sit. Well not really. I made the mistake of showing here Solitaire on line a few months back. Now I have to fight for the computer. Even Charlie felt sad. He doesn't know how to press the key board.
He was being a good dog and watching out for Sue.
So, tonight is TV and rest. Tomorrow we will do some exploring. This is suppose to be a beautiful area to check out. The town looks like a lot of fun too. Being Utah we have not yet seen an Osmond except on TV last Monday. Charlie is on the watch.
For the Blog record and those who don't know or those who have forgotten. If you see something like This in highlight, if you click on it it leads to something different, like the web sight of where we were at or going or something interesting. You never know, it might even be a bunch of gals working hard. Another thing, and I don't know how this works. If you double click on a picture, sometimes it gets bigger. I don't understand this one, just try it some times. Lastly at the end of the post is says comments. From what I hear you have to register to do that. I don't know but it is nice to know that someone reads this thing. On the right is says e-mail Joe or Sue. If you would like to say anything click there. Other wise just enjoy. I do every night I do this thing. Also never forget the Joe-isms. This is where you get a laugh because I can't speel.

We got into the Moab area around 1:30. The reason we are here is to see Arches National Park and Canyonlands National Park, as well as what is in the area. The scenery changed a lot as we drove today. It went from kind of waste land to mountains and the red cliffs. It is really amazing how the geography changes as you drive.
