Canyonlands National Park

Last day of driving. We finally crossed the Utah state line and headed to Moab. This town is like Queenstown in NZ. You can find all adventure sports such as mountain biking, rafting, rock climbing, sky diving, you name it. We were here 4 years ago and the town hasn't changed much. We even recognized the place we met up with a friend and had dinner. This is also the nearest town to Archers and Canyonlands National Parks. We stopped at City Market to get our food and supplies for 5 nights as our next destination is 65 miles away, the Squaw Flats camp ground. We arrived at noon and not a moment too soon. Campsites are limited and we found one with a great view as you can see from the pics. Our base for the next 5 nights.
Site No. 5
Room view
It was a gusty day and we didn't think its a good idea to light up the fire. Too bad. I was looking forward to having my steak grilled on the camp fire. TJ, however, was creative in getting our cooking station set up.

Mistake 1 - never leave your tent without a fly sheet when its windy in the desert. We found out the hard way after going into our tent all freshened up and cleaned and there were dust/sand all over our sheets and pillows. Duh!
