6/18/07 – Grand Teton N.P. to Moab, UT

We awoke from our fourth straight night of camping eager to arrive at our first motel of the trip in Moab, UT. The eight hour drive had us enter a new temperate zone – by the time we arrived at Moab, the temperature had risen above 90 degrees and the landscape had changed to red rocks and cliffs. Suddenly, we were in the desert. We would explore our new surroundings the next day at Arches N.P., but for now we enjoyed the comforts of our $50 motel room by ordering pizza and wings and drinking cold beer. Showering felt good as well. We took the time to catch up on our email and update the blog, which proved to be taxing – sometimes it’s nice to have an excuse for not checking your email. The sleep we would get that night would be our last indoors for another four days, so any attempts at debauchery were put on hold until LA.
