It was a travel day, and was light on pictures. We got a lazy start at around 9 AM MDT. The early part of the route gave us a good look at areas that had been affected by mud flows and flooding last week. We saw an RV that mud more than wheel deep and a gas station put out of service.

We made a quick stop in Green River, Utah and visited the John Wesley Powell Museum. It is remarkable the courage the men who explored the Green and Colorado rivers displayed, running the rapids without any charts, maps, or technology to aid them.

Finally, we arrived in Moab early afternoon. We went grocery shopping, found a cup of coffee downtown, then relaxed a little. It was a hot day, topping out in the mid-90’s. The group got together for pizza tonight, and tomorrow we have two group outings: in the morning we take a bus tour of Arches NP, then in the evening we have a dinner and a boat ride on the Colorado River.
