MOAB, UT

The wind storm in Monument Valley was everything the National Weather Service promised, perhaps more. We ended up with fine red dust everywhere inside the coach. We will be cleaning that up for days finding it in new places. We drove up here to Moab yesterday in much calmer conditions although it hailed in Monument Valley before we left and we drove through a little more of it on the way here. The temperatures have been in the 40's and 50's so up to this point none of it has stuck on the roadway. We still have some higher elevations to cross on the way home so we are keeping our fingers crossed. It is supposed to start warming up in a few days.

We have decided to alter our schedule once again and not only add back our lost day here in Moab but adding one more. That way we will be able to see more of this area. If you hike many of the trails and try to cover all there is to see in Arches and Canyon Lands NP's it could easily take a week or more. We'll do what we can in three days. We are headed for Arches NP today. More on that later. For now I am adding four pictures to this post. One of the dust storm and three more I took standing in front of the coach in our camping spot here in the Moab KOA.
