Backroads and Bridges

Yesterday, we cached in the back areas of Moab.   Hunting geocaches takes you out of the main tourist areas,  away from the crowds, into the neighborhoods,  the little local parks,  and to the outskirts of town.   You learn a lot about an area this way.  

During the morning, we climbed into the sandstone cliffs, enjoyed amazing views, toured a few exclusive neighborhoods,  some not so exclusive,  and came into a pretty little park with its own flowing spring. 

After lunch at a local micro brewery,  we continued caching in another part of town,  bringing us to a very cool little park filled with outdoor musical instruments that you could play to your heart's content.   I had a hard time getting Kathy,  my child bride,  back on the road from this park.  Later, our hunt took us under the main highway bridge that spans the Colorado River,  where Kathy made a difficult cache find,  and then skipped stones across the flowing water.

It was a fun day.
