Traveling to Moab

Yesterday,  leaving Lake Powell,  we headed east,  then north into Utah.   Along our route we passed through little towns on the Navajo Nation with Navajo names such as Tsegi, Kaibito, Shonto,and Kayenta, and on into Monument Valley (a Navajo Tribal Park).  Then into Utah,  and towns that were named for geological features in their areas.   Towns like Mexican Hat,  Mexican Water,  and Bluff.  We crossed a very rushing San Juan River,  and so many huge rock outcroppings,  cliffs, and monuments that had no names on our maps.  Then after the little towns of Blanding and Monticello,  we passed by the southern entrance to Canyonlands National Park,  and on into Moab,  Utah. 

After checking out a few RV parks,  we settled into a rural park, the OK RV Park, about 5 miles south of town.   It is quiet,  peaceful,  and has many trees.   The views are of massive redrock cliffs,  and of the great  La Sal mountains.  Our plan is to stay a few days here and explore a bit.  It had been a long drive,  so we spent the late afternoon in camp, enjoying adult beverages and snacks for dinner.
