Today, Wednesday, I drove around all over the place. I took roads that had no names and no real road. It was a lot of fun. I guess that is what is called the backcountry. Boy is it ever backcountry! Little tents in the middle of nowhere, mobile homes up on a hill permanently and falling apart. Quite amazing how some people choose to live. While I was following the Colorado river I met a girl, Alicia, laying on a huge boulder. She started talking to Asher. What a nice person. She drives the bus for kayak tours. She drops them off 10-12 miles up the river and then picks them up. During the school year she drives a school bus. Lovely talking with her. She told me of an enclosed dog park in Moab. So off I went. Asher really needed to run around a bit. Well there were three other dogs and he had a ball. He also was really filthy dirty from rolling around in the dirt. Two of the dogs belonged to this one girl who works in town at a bike shop. Another nice conversation. After that we explored a little more up another unmarked road to an area where they are building new homes. Absolutely beautiful. Some are real southwestern looking and some are like homes back home. After that came back to MH and met my new neighbors from Tucson, AZ. Of course very nice people. They had their teenage grandchildren with them. They also had a 2 year old poo dog of some sort. Maybe Portuguese Water Dog and poo but they weren't sure as she was a rescue. Maya and Asher hit it off real well!
Leaving in the morning for Capital Reef National Park. Want to end with this cute sign!,
Love the freudian slip in the second sentence!! LOL!! Butt(LOL) so glad you got to see these gorgeous places. You're absolutely right--both when you said you think you'll never see anything more beautiful then suddenly something new appears, as well as how no photograph can truly convey the beauty you see for real! Enjoy every minute!!
ReplyDeleteYeah, nice slip huh? I was going to correct it but...oh well! I certainly am enjoying every minute!
