May 12 - Rocky Mountain High

We started the day knowing we had to finish crossing the Colorado Rockies, traverse the high desert of Utah and find our way to Moab.   We had to do this in time to find a suitable bar to watch our beloved Leafs.  And sure glad we made it  - just. 

We met a great bartender Rob in a place called Rio, a sports bar.  He arranged for us to have our own 48 inch flatscreen, adjusted the audio to our liking, re-arranged a ton of furniture and kept us served all evening.  We walked out of there with a $12.00 bill - only in America - EH!  Couldn't imagine getting this service at home. 

We enjoyed a few refreshments this evenings and have now found our hotel.  With game 7 tomorrow at 5:00 PM Mountain Time, we need to squeeze a liitle tourism (actually planning a visit to Arches National Park) in the morning and travel about 300 miles to Bryce Canyon.  Once again we will need to find a suitable venue to enjoy the demise of the Boston Bruins.  GO LEAFS GO!

We froze our butts yesterday and today we saw 92F (33C) as we drove into Moab.  Unbelievable how much the terrain can change. We have gone from snow capped mountains to high desert and our now in mesa country.

We are including some pics from the last couple of days.
