We made it to Utah! We refilled our fridge and fresh water tank in the little town of Moab, UT right by the Arches National Park. It’s Friday – and the night before a “no fees for National Park” Day and finding a spot to stay turned out to be a real struggle. After a few very stressful hours of pulling in and out of filled camping spots, in the pitch dark, we finally found a spot almost an hour south of Moab. We don’t realize until the next morning that we got the winning ticket: our free, BLM spot in the middle of nowhere is perfection. The kids call it “staying on the moon” – we parked in the middle of a huge rock formation. We are all alone and it’s blissfully deserted. We stay far away from any park on Saturday and decide it’s time for some housekeeping…cleaning and laundry. We stay for two nights before leaving to our next adventure spot: Canyonlands.
Today’s lesson: chores need to be done – even if you are on vacation. Or staying on the moon 😜
