June 5
We are in Moab, Utah. The heat is back on!! It is close to 100 every day some days hotter here. We had thought it would be a higher elevation, thus cooler. On Tuesday June 6 we drove through some scenic roads in the area. One drive was along the huge bluffs that are on both the east and west sides of Moab. This rock is mainly very red sandstone. Some of the bluffs are solid rock with no soil at all. We saw petrogliphs etched in these flat walls. They are quite impressive. As we drove east of Moab the bluffs broke up into mountainous towers. As we kept climbing we found ourselves in the LaSal Mountains which are covered with pines and cedars. It is a much higher elevation and so much cooler.
