Jeff and Sharon's Travel Blog

We woke up at around 5:00 a.m. local time because our bodies are still on Tennessee time, but we lay…

As expected we woke up at 5AM Hawaiian time, 10AM Nashville time. Nashville time seems further on out as they had their time change that day. We will not miss loosing the hour, but ours wil be more difficult to adjust to as it is more jet lag than skipping forward.

Roosters actually serenaded us in the morning. It was almost a standoff as to which rooster could crow the best. One was pitiful. Sounded like he had a frog in his mouth.

I dosed a little until about 7AM when I figured it was time to get up and go to Walmart for some food and other estentials. It was just 5 minutes away. I left Sharon do write up her blog post.

Walmart was just like any other Walmart. I think it had a limited selection on eggs – only a couple of brands – all said “Mainland Eggs” indicating it was imported in. Seemingly

We slept in a little today, but it didn’t feel like it. Checkout was at 11AM and we were sure we would be out by then. We loaded up our car and headed out to McDonald’s for our $13 meal for both of us. I guess things are expensive in Moab. For the same 2 meals of Sausage Egg & Biscuit, hash brown and drink would have been around $7 at home.

After getting gas and orange Fanta we stopped by a local rock shop in Moab. Sharon saw a lot of rocks, none of which she felt like getting. I think people get caught up in souvenir buying and don’t realize that what they’re buying will just sit and collect dust once they get home. So it was $1 for an ordinary rock with increasing prices as the rocks became prettier or more interesting. They did sell fossils of fish imprinted in rock, which I did think about getting, but I wasn’t sure where I would put it, plus I wasn’t sure if it was authentic. Part of me repeats that Indiana Jones quote “It belongs in a museum!” Who am I to have a fos

The drive to Denver from Moab is longer than we wanted to do in one day, so we chose a…
