MOAB TRIP

FRIDAY
5-10-2019

Up at 5AM for a dog walk.

We microwave eggs & burritos. Make lattes. Have Breakfast.

Drive behind Eric to Ken's Campground north of Moab.

Set up in group camping. Park the U-Haul trailer over at an overflow parking lot.

Rains all day long. Stay in the RV with dogs.

Dogs and I take a 3 hour nap while Hubby sits with Eric & Dean talking under their awning.

At 2pm, go to Sand Flats Recreation Area with gang of 10 other SXSs. We will off road for about 10-15 minutes, then stop for 20 minutes so everybody can get out, smoke cigarettes, drink beer, and talk - kids run around like maniacs. One little boy is especially irritating - he runs around without shoes like an wild animal and screeches.

After 5 hours of this, we finally get back to the campground.

At the RV, Hubby takes the dogs out to pee while I clean up the mess inside the RV. We make sandwiches because we did not have anything to eat for the 5 hours while we were off-roading. Just had snacks. Gross.

I feel dirty, but there is no showers in the campground; it is primitive. Outhouses are the only things there. And the horses that are right next to group camping. Every so often, there is a drifting of horse shit into the camper.

Start the generator from 7-8PM as it gets quite chilly.

Hubby goes out to talk until midnight. The dogs and I got to bed at 9PM. Nice and warm with the sleeping bags and both dogs on top of me.


SATURDAY
5-11-2019

Hubby is up at 5AM with the dogs. I sleep until 7AM.


It was 42 degrees overnight.

Microwave eggs & make lattes. Feed dogs.

Tater poops on the floor of the RV.

Hubby walks dogs while I clean it up.

Poop at outhouse.

Hubby leaves at 9:30AM with the group for another all day SXS trip. I stay at the RV with the dogs.

Dogs Watching Daddy Get Back From Off Roading

I read my book. Surf the internet. Dogs and I take several walks around the campground. We walk over the cattleguards. Both dogs fall in-between the metal, I have to carry them over.

We go back to the RV for dog water.

Hubby gets back at 5PM.

Fed Dogs Snacks in the RV

I was going to have a sandwich, but hubby says that one woman is making carne asada tacos. We did not eat until 7:30PM.

Lots more people there tonight. Some friends of theirs came to visit. They were talking about dogs, so we got Tater and brought him out. Everybody loved him.

The puppy doberman pinscher was sitting across from us at the burn barrel. Tater was whining and wanted to play.

We eventually went back to the RV and went to bed at 10PM.


SUNDAY
MOTHER'S DAY
5-12-2019

Up at 7AM with dogs. Had to take them for a pee walk.

Had to start the generator at 8AM to get anything done. Microwaved eggs & made lattes.

Wilson Sleeping in RV

Eric & Dean left early in the morning.

Hubby and I took the Can-Am to look at the Waterfall and then ride up to the Hole In The Rock where they filmed an Indiana Jones movie.

Waterfall at Ken's Lake Campground

Then hubby and I cleaned up around the campground. We loaded the Can-Am onto the U-Haul trailer and headed home.

It took us over 45 minutes just to leave Moab as there was so much car congestion on the roads.

Stopped at Green River to get fuel, walk the dogs, and get Arby's burgers. Fed roast beef sliders to the dogs. We got back on the road and drove home.

Pulled over a couple times to walk dogs.

Got home at about 6PM. We were both exhausted. Dogs were happy to be home and in their back yard again.
