From Colorado to Moab, Utah

Saturday, Sept. 25 - We left our nice little campground in Colorado this morning and headed back into Utah, to Moab.  We picked up I-70 at Loma and got off on some little scenic road that connected with Hwy 128.  We kept leapfrogging with a group of bicyclists, and I finally told Joe we needed to speed up a little so they didn't pass us again (they actually only passed us when we were pulled off, but they certainly were in our rear-view mirror for a long time).  This highway parallels the Colorado River all the way into Moab, and it is like driving at the bottom of the Grand Canyon.  There were hoodoos, red, sheer cliff walls, a ranch (Sorrel River Ranch and Restaurant) with a beautiful green pasture against the backdrop of the red cliffs, a winery and grape arbor, and just beautiful scenery.  I'm just going to post a few of the 69 pictures we took, which include me washing a "Brenda" rock, and the two of us with this beautiful background.  Joe and Cathy -- put this highway on your list of "must" drives.  This was awesome.
