Old West, Moab, UT

We are up and out early for the short drive down to Moab.  We eat breakfast at the Jailhouse Café, in a converted – yup – jail and courthouse.  We feel that we are in the Old West, especially after seeing a cowboy ride his horse down the main street.  We rent mountain bikes at Chili Pepper Bike Shop, load them into the back of the Advanced RV Sprinter and head back up Rt. 191, north of Arches National Park, to the trails at Moab Brands.  We take the Bar-M loop and add Rusty Spur for an exhilarating 10-mile ride over rocks, hills and prairie.  The home stretch is tough, with a stiff headwind and red dust blowing in our faces.  As we drive south on Rt. 191, Mike holds our Sprinter RV steady in winds gusting maybe to 50 – 60 mph. The wind and dust continue as we take scenic Rt. 163 through Monument Valley into Arizona.  We keep going all the way to Flagstaff, stopping at the KOA there about 10PM.
