I did have a slight mishap in Glenwood Springs, CO. I got to meet one of GSPD's finest. I got pulled over going a wee bit too fast through town. Apparently it was 25mph, and I just don't go that slow. Luckily, the kind officer took pity on me and let me go with a warning. I'm guessing that doing the paperwork on a woman with a MN license, driving a WA registered rental car, in the middle of CO was just too much. I also had to take the car through a car wash today. I had 1000 miles worth of dead bugs on the car, and it was getting more than a little disgusting.
I am now hanging out in Moab, Utah. It is on the edge of of Arches National Park. I didn't head up into the park yet, because I went in search of the above petroglyphs. All I had was directions, and the glyphs aren't marked as I thought they would be. But, I found them, and they were amazing. It fascinated me to be able to touch something so old, so important to history.
I had dinner tonight from the "Moab Diner". If ever a place should be on "Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives", this place should be. It was such a dive, and so so busy. This city is loaded with tourists, but this place, you could tell, was for the locals. They have a green chili cheese sauce that they put on everything. I had an open faced roast beef sandwich, and it was smothered in their famous sauce. It was out of this world good.
Part of me has been a little homesick...I love being on the road and gone, but I also miss the people I love who aren't with me. I'm thrilled to be the only person I have to answer to, but I also don't have anyone here to get all keyed up over rock carvings with me. Okay, well, maybe I'd still be the only one that gets keyed up over petroglyphs....
