Friday night we went to Bar M Chuchwagon. This was similar to the Prairie Rose Chuckwagon near El Dorado, Ks which we went to a few years ago with some of our bike friends from Manhattan. A nice dinner is served cowboy style and after we were entertained by a good cowboy singing band and comedy. We had a good time and the food was very tasty. We have seen Chuckwagons similar to this in several towns we have been in. So far, the one in Kansas is the best.
Saturday we drove south to see part of the Canyonlands National Park. It is a very big area and can only be seen from a few spots. We chose to go to the Needles Overlook which is about 60 miles south of Moab. Along the way we stopped at a commercial tourism spot called Hole N’ The Rock. Sometime about 50 years ago a man decided to make a home in the limestone rock. It has, I think, 8 rooms in it and he and his family lived there. Now it is open to the public for a tour. We did not take the tour but did enjoy some of the other “calling cards” there.
