Day 10: Price to Moab via Canyon Lands National Park

Woke to an overcast day, due to snow today, so that front will finally catch up to us. First on todays menu was to visit The Prehistoric Museum in Price. What a great museum. Full of different dinosaur fossils. Spent a great deal of time there, perhaps looking for a relative.
Continued on Rte 6 all the way down to I-70. The posted speed limit on I-70 is 80 mph, great driving. Almost missed the Moab turn off. Just re-entered the interstate after having lunch at a rest area, and Bang! there it was Moab exit.
By the time we got up to the CanyonLands ranger visitor centre it was beginning to rain. Stoped at one view point, then pushed on to upheaval dome. By the time we got there it was beginning to snow (temp had fallen to 0). At this point discreation was the better part of valour. We decided to abandon our tour and head for Moab. Well the snow began to fall harder, thankfully we followed a grader truck back to the main highway, the truck cleared the snow from the road.

Finally arrived at our accommodation - 1 2 bedroom condo about 10 minutes out of Moab. Great place, warm and spacious and a kitchen.
Went into Moab and shopped for groceries, no restaurant meal tonight. Finally had my first donut, simply wonderful. Sorry pictures will follow.
