End Miles 8468
Total Miles 678
What a long day to get from Canyon, WY to Moab, UT. As you can see from the mileage it was far. Wyoming to Utah to Colorado and back to Utah, that was our route. The roads were super steep so drafting off a dualie towing a trailer behind it going mach really upped our miles per gallon. Once we lost the redneck behind the wheel, being stuck behind other motorhomers just didn't do the trick for us. Some of the routes we took warned you ahead of time, "No Semi Trucks" (the roads were hairpin turns with rock face cliffs and no guardrails), "No Amenities for X Miles" (there was nothing, and I mean nothing, for at least 100 miles), and my favorite, "Open Range" (you didn't know if a cow was going to pop around the corner or an antelope!
We didn't stop much, but for gas. Luckily by the time we got to our last turn, there was 3G so I could use my phone's apps to look up a place to stay. We stayed at Archview Inn. Classic place with a barn/school house used in many many movies. I posted photos of it. We checked in and went to Moab for dinner. Nothing but sheer exhaustion that night.
Bill's comment to this post "The f'ing drive from hell!" That's because he was the lucky man to drive the entire route. Not me!
