We hung out at the Sun Outdoors RV park on the 12th, soaked in the pool, and went downtown and browsed through the Moab shops. Some cool stuff and after a couple of hours we were thirsty so we found a restaurant called the Spoke, and we enjoyed some beverages, a burger and a sandwich. The rest of the day we sat under the shade canopy, read some books and finished the evening with a little television.
The next day we packed up camp and drove across Utah and down the scenic drive through Montrose, Gunnison, Monarch Pass,, and then across the high valley into Woodland Park and down to Colorado Springs.
We stopped at a couple of National Parks along the way including the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park and Curecanti National Recreation Area (Blue Mesa Reservoir).
We met Peyton for dinner at The Edelweiss, a German restaurant, and had a great reunion. Peyton is making and selling handmade soap and us works wonderfully and smells great so we added a couple of bars to our shower kits.
we did our first parking lot camp night at the Bass Pro Shop in Colorado Springs. Somewhat quiet other than the dance club to the south. We slept well.
here are some photos along the way. https://www.overlandadventureexcursions.com/photos-albums/nggallery/album/20250612-13-drive-to-cos
