The park was gorgeous. See my facebook album with dozens of poor quality photos. After completing a 2 mile hike in 93 degree weather, I approached my car and overheard what I thought was a gay male couple speaking in French. Then, I overheard one of the men tell the others that I was pretty - an awesome compliment to hear as the beads of sweat dripped down my back.
Then I headed over to the Peace Tree Juice Cafe (did I mention when I planned this trip, my first step was googling "Hippie Towns USA"??) for a tasty hummus wrap and Desert Nectar smoothie. Next time you're in Moab - stop there for some deliciousness (and if my hippie vegan tendencies in food don't appeal to you, never fear, they have animal products too).
It's a wonder I made it over 500 miles yesterday considering I felt compelled to stop every 20 miles or so for photo ops. Utah is freaking beautiful.
It is ALSO a wonder I made it to Denver; as I drove through the mountains in Colorado while my car refused to venture over 50 miles (when the speed limit was 65 to 75 mph the entire way) an hour up the steep grade, I patted it on the dash chanting "I think you can I think you can I think you can."
Luckily, my car agreed with me and she did in fact, make it over the hill.
In Denver for a fun filled week with my friend Amanda, then 1689 miles to go!
