We poked around Montrose in the morning. They have a good deal of interesting art on the Main Street. We also got a card off to grandson Sam whose Birthday is this Wednesday. We were glad to hear from his folks who are back from their 25th wedding anniversary trip to Machu Pichu. This is also the day the class of 1983 at Tripoli High is celebrating its 30th Reunion. After a great pulled pork sandwich and cup of gazpacho, we headed to Telluride only to encounter some heavy rain which threatened to wash out the road into Telluride. They actually sent out a truck with a snowplow to move the mud off the road. We found the campground there to be very muddy and full. A forecast of a low of 40 degrees persuaded us to look at the spectacular falls east of town and head through the rain for Moab, Utah. We were intrigued to learn that we were driving through Paradox Valley.
After a picnic supper at a very pleasant state Rest Area (near the Hole in the Wall tourist trap), we found the Moab KOA to be just what we were looking for. This is high season in Moab, and the place was packed with French, Germans, and Japanese. There was no rain, and we had a great night's sleep.
