The group had an ambitious agenda during this stop. Some of the locations visited included Arches National Park, Canyonlands National Park, Dead Horse State Park and the Lasal Mountains. A trip to each of these parks could easily take an entire day. Additionally, some RVers rented Jeeps and were guided on a tour of the Fins & Things 4x4 Trail and Hell's Revenge trail.
Several evenings were spent sampling the local restaurants. It was in this at one of these restaurants where the campers learned what Moab was an acronym for...apparently it stands for "Mother Of All Burritos."
One night was also spent on the Canyonlands By Night and Day river boat tour of the Colorado River bluffs near Moab. It was a mix of live narration and prerecorded recounts of spiritual and western lore. Prior to setting sail, a tasty supper was served "cowboy style" of beef, potatoes, beans, and apple cobbler.
When the RVers woke on Thursday, it was time to continue the caravan. The RVers formed a line of rigs and pulled out on Hwy 191 south to Hwy 491, then in Cortez, CO the caravan merged onto Hwy 160 and eventually arrived at Mesa Verde RV Resort.
After a quick setup, many of the RVers drove into Mesa Verde National Park to plot the visit for Friday. There was an app for Mesa Verde National Park made available by the US Parks Service; it was downloaded and made ready for Friday's visit.
Finally, the RVers had a fun campfire Thursday night with snacks and great company
It is because of experiences like these that we RV.
