I wasn't expecting it to be so green, scenic and beautiful. It was a great drive.
One thing we kept coming across were these things called pickled eggs. They looked absolutely disgusting and tugged at my gag reflex a little. When ever you'd move the jar, whatever sediment was at the bottom would stir up and swish around the eggs. It was the perfect thing to make you lose any appetite you might have had.
We were almost to Moab, Utah when we realized that our gas was just about out and that there wasn't any gas station anywhere nearby. We stopped at a rest area and ended up hitchiking to go and get some gas.
Along our hitchiking way, a tumbleweed came along. I had to get a picture of that. A tumbleweed is a sure indication that you're in the middle of no where.
Luckily, a gas station was only a couple miles up the road and we were in mormon country, so there were nice people that helped us out. :)
Soon we had our gas and were on our way.
We were on the edge of Moab when all the red rocks appeared along the horizon. These are amazing.
The Colorado River runs through Moab. We ended up taking a boat tour at sunset. It was pretty spectacular to ride upriver in the canyon surrounded by all the red rocks. When the stars came out and it was beginning to get dark, seeing the silouhette of the canyon against the twilight sky left me pretty awestruck.
