Day 12: Moab to Montrose, Colorado

Today has been dedicated to Regan, "he who bombed the bathroom", in other words blocked the toilet up. A fact he was quite proud of!! The air bnb at Moab was fantastic. Would highly recommend it. It was a 2 bedroom condo out near the Moab golf course. It was very comfortable, we could have stayed wasy longer. Anyway, Regan destroyed one of the two bathrooms this morning. To rectify the issue he had to go out early to find a hardware store and get a plunger. Once purchased it solved the problem. Well done Regan.

Also took the opportunity to vacuum out the car, which was much needed. Seemed like we had half the desert in the car.

Sadly we had to leave and our first stop was the Moab rock shop for Regaon to buy a couple of complete, uncut geodes. She who can not be named and Kerry to the opportunity to do a little shopping. Me, well I just drooled over their selection of fossils (the best were from Africa and very expensive).

We then quite Moab via a very scenic road. We drove beside the Colorado River and very steep red rock canyons. Road was shit but the scenary was fantastic. Saw some antelopes and a few prairie dogs on the way to I-70. Passed a few ranches that are now Ranches and Resorts all nestled beside the Colorado River.

I-70, 80 mph (140 kph approx). Very quickly arrived at Grand Juntion and Best buy. Stopped at a local park for a picnic lunch. Sunny but cold breeze. After a great picnic we hit Rte 50 to Montrose. Cruised through one neat little town (Delta). Satisfying little town, no Walmart or other box stores, just ma and pa stores.

Arrived Montrose and our accommodation (thanks to GPS). Were expecting an Econ lodge but found it is now a Stay Wise Inn. The front desk was very helpful, even offered to take off the pool and spa cover, so we could use them. We declined the invitation.

Abandon going to Black Canyon of the Gunisson until tomorrow. Instead we found JC Penny, Ross dress for less and Target. Kerry and "she who can not be named" did a little shopping. Regan and I drank coffee and followed along (for the experience).

Eat Mexican tonight. What a great selection of food and it tasted excellent as well. Sorry no photos today as it was a travel day. By the way the Mexicanrestaurant was called Mi Mexico. 

So that is all folks. I hope my Lounge Lizard (LL son) does my lawns this weekend. I will be requiring proof of work ASAP.

Ah, that's all folks.
