The weather prognosticator had predicted high winds for Saturday. By golly they got it right. Not wanting to be sandblasted at the park, we thought winery and museum were better choices. The winery was 14 miles out a winding road on the banks of the Colorado. We had just arrived when the power went out. The musem was in the lower level so now that attraction was removed. Many movies, or parts of movies have been filmed on this ranch. From John Wayne's "Comenchero'" to the car over the cliff scene in "Thelma and Louise". Oh well, buy some wine and head back to Moab. It was then we discovered power was out through out the valley. Power was restored about four hour's later, in time for a stroll down main street. Also seemed a good time to feed Mary some enchiladas covered in green sauce, one of her favorites.
That brings us to Sunday and a return to Arches. A nice hike to see a couple more arches then on to Canyon lands. A great day to be in either location. Monday and Tuesday will be devoted to downtown and another museum plus housekeeping. Fun fact about Utah: hard liqour stores are run by state and can be few and far between. Beer bought in grocery store is 3.2%, takes a lot to get you going. Certain stores can sell regular beer. Drinks in restaurants are metered. No matter how big the glass, you are getting 1.5oz of liqour, no more.
Todays photos and more fun facts.
