Day 19 – Last Day in Moab

Last night just before 7 o’clock we when back to Dead Horse Point State Park to take pictures as the sun set behind the bluffs.  Here are a couple of the photos.

 

We spent the day in preparation for our departure from Moab.  I did a load of laundry.  After returning to the camper, I got on the web to see if we could find a place to stay on Sunday night as well as Monday night.  I tried a couple of state parks for Sunday night, but they were all booked up.  We decided to try our luck in finding an open site in Capital Reef National Park – they do not take reservations.  It is a first come, first served system.  We hoped by getting there in the early afternoon we might find two sites.  The campground doesn’t have any hook-ups, but that is okay with us.

Next I looked for a campground near Zion National Park, hoping for something between Zion and Bryce Canyon National Park.  The Passport America parks in that area did not open until May 1^st, so they were out.  I finally found a state park, so we made reservations online since the phone number only operated Monday thru Friday.  We were set for the next two days – if we get into Capital Reef.

We drove into Moab to hit some of the tourist shops – but really didn’t find anything, so after stopping at a hardware store to get an electric heater and light bulbs for the camper, we returned home.

Rick and I started looking for a place to stay in Las Vegas.  I had found one in the downtown area that got good reviews, so we called to make reservations.  We now have reservations starting on Wednesday (April 2^nd) and departing on Sunday, April 6^th.

During the night the wind stated howling again – just in time for us to travel.
