Once Alta closed, there was nothing left to do but go to Moab for a week. So we did. And we completely lucked out on the weather - which was largely gorgeous and very pleasant and the wildflowers were just getting going - because the day after we went back to SLC, it rained in the desert for a couple of days.
We had an uneventful drive down from SLC on Friday afternoon. En route, we got a text from Moab friends C and F. Once we got unloaded and partially unpacked, we walked over to Woody's and met them for a drink on the patio.
On Saturday, we all went to Pipe Dream for some trail time. A did a 7.2 mile hike while H and Milton did an eight mile trail run. It was in the high 70s and sunny, which turned out to be a little too hot for M; he seems to be affected more by the heat as he gets older.
Because M got a little hot, he didn't mind one bit when A and H wandered over to the Moab Car Show (put on by the local Rotary chapter). We checked out all the vehicles - seemingly more hotrods and fewer Studebakers this year - and also ran into C and F and their young son H, who seemed a little overwhelmed at seeing all these "Hotwheels" cars live and in person. On the way home, we stopped in at Josie Wyatt's (it is literally right on the way) and got overcharged for our $2 PBRs.
