Moab to Cameron 04-03-14

We left Moab around 9:30. the weather was cold and partly cloudy.
There was no snow on the ground although it looked like it was snowing on the La Sal Mountains.

We didn’t encounter any snow on the ground until we were approaching the turn off to Canyonlands NP at Highway 211.

That was the last appreciable accumulation of snow for the rest of the trip.

Monticello was clear of snow even though it was at a higher elevation  than Moab.

The Abajo mountains to the west of Monticello looked like they may have gotten a light dusting last night.

At Keyenta we stopped for lunch at the Sonic Burger place.

We arrived at the Cameron Trading Post around 3:00 Moab time.

We had diner at the restaurant in the Trading Post. It was reasonably priced for a tourist trap and the food was good.

If all goes well we will be back in Quartzsite tomorrow afternoon.
