Moab, Utah

Saturday, 4th September to Sunday 5th September

From Jackson Hole, we travelled down to Moab via the Green River, stopping off on the way at Fort Bridger.  As this weekend was a bank holiday in America, there was an event on, run by the local gun clubs. 
We had Mountain Men, Indians, and ladies dressed in beautiful Settler dresses, walking about, and stalls everywhere selling the usual sort of stuff.  However, there were a lot of  stalls selling animal furs - all the animals we have not seen yet such as Silver Fox, Raccoon, Wolf - all seemed to be hanging up there.



We stayed the night at Green River, then travelled on via Flaming Gorge to Moab.  Moab is a funny place but the surrounding countryside is glorious, being on the Colorado River.

We walked the Negro Bill trail to a 243 foot overspan and watched a group abseilling down. 



Then on to the Arches National Park - there were signs everywhere to stand your ground if a Cougar approached it - dash, we didnt see any!
