We started on I-20 around Atlanta (and Montgomery and Jackson, MS.)  We crossed I-40 in Memphis and I-70 in Kansas City.  We got back to I-40 in OKC and took it across the rest of Oklahoma, the Texas panhandle and a lot of New Mexico.  Today we crossed over I-70 again and then I-80.  In a few more days we’ll cross over I-90.  We will also cover I-85 to I-5.  It’s a big country…

It’s always 103 in Moab, UT

It was when we came through in 2013 and it was again today.  The area around Moab is incredible.  If you want a fantastic drive, pick up US-191 in Monticello and drive 90-plus miles up the Spanish Valley, through Moab and up to i-70 at Crescent Junction.  You’ll go past Canyonlands and Arches National Parks.  Even if you don’t hit the parks, you’ll see amazing land formations and colors.  It’s hard to capture on ‘film’ because of the scale.  The photo here is the backdrop to a parking lot in Moab. Just another day in Utah.

 

We’re staying in Ogden, just north of Salt Lake City.  It’s our last night in a hotel on this trip.  The land north of here is more high desert.  That will carry us into Idaho and to our place in Boise.  We’ll have another spectacular drive in a few days when we head up to visit the grandchildren.  And their parents of course!  More to follow…
