The great thing about a road trip is that coming home is just as much a part of the trip as the beginning.
Currently, we are visiting the very scenic and very beautiful Moab, Utah. Personally, I like Utah, I think that it is a great state and that there is a lot of adventure to be had.
First of all, I can tell you there are a TON of mountain bikers in this town. Nearly every car has a mountain bike on the roof or on the back of their car. There is clearly a sense of adventure and outdoor enthusiasm here.
Last night, Monica and I visited a local brewery and ate some good bar food while sampling a few different beers.
Yesterday’s adventures included visiting the Mesa Verde National Park in CO and stopping by the Four Corners Monument. Going backwards, Four Corners is a novelty, pretty much everything you would expect. If you ever go, you only need to go once. Mesa Verde was as majestic as expected. The park has several Indian cliff dwelling sites from around 1200 AD or so. We hiked to one of the best preserved sites and did a little exploring. It was fascinating to see the homes of Indians from hundreds of years ago. Also, the national park was extremely beautiful, I would like to camp there some time. Once we arrived in the park, we had to drive 20 miles to get back to the trail. It was quite the scenic drive through the mountains.
Today, we’re heading back into Colorado. Probably towards Denver.

“Probably towards Denver.” This statement identifies the best part of road trips.
Sorry, I didn’t know about these plans otherwise I would’ve made an effort to check your blog sometime during my adjustment to working life. I’ll definitely leave my string of comments when I come back.
Can I get a confirmation on the “scenery” in Utah? Since you and Bill went there for debate I’ve been talking up the prospects…
Did you make it to the salt flats? I heard they’re so vast that you had better be careful of your bearing, else you can walk for awhile and get lost in an endless sea of white ground…
