We packed up and pulled out of the campground in Bluff; we are heading north to Moab, Utah. Along the way we see typical Utah sights…
We stopped at Wilson’s Arch… Wilson’s Arch was named after Joe Wilson, a local pioneer who had a cabin nearby in Dry Valley. This formation is known as Entrada Sandstone. Over time superficial cracks, joints, and folds of these layers were saturated with water. Ice formed in the fissures, melted under extreme desert heat, and winds cleaned out the loose particles. A series of free-standing fins remained. Wind and water attacked these fins until, in some, cementing material gave way and chunks of rock tumbled out.
We pulled into The RV Park in Moab behind a few other Airstreams…
…and ahead of a few others…
The Portal RV park is quite nice; they even have RV sites that they have sold to seasonal residents, and some of them have vacation homes built on them… We parked in the “low rent” area…
The offfice even has fake vigas… ’nuff said…
The view across the highway is great… I guess every town in Utah looks like this…
We’re all checked in…
This evening we have a dinner together about 15 miles up a canyon bisected by the Colorado River…
We saw rafters enjoying the late afternoon sun…
We saw amazing sights along the river…
The Resort and Winery where we were to have dinner is a very nice modern place…
We did a little wine tasting, and bought a nice Utah Syrah to have with dinner… Dinner was in a pavilion facing the river; we had our choice of burgers, hot dogs, or chicken… It was a lovely setting…
We returned to The Villa in time to catch the reflection of the setting sun…
And an enjoyable time was had by all…
