This morning we had breakfast with Sam in Midvale, then headed south on I-15 toward Moab. On our atlast, Sam highlighted some scenic drives we should take, so we took a little extra time getting here. We drove all afternoon and arrived around 6 pm. If you want to see where we are, check out this website: http://www.redcliffslodge.com/ It is in a very remote location surrounded by redrocks ... beautiful. We have a neat room with 2 queen beds and a pullout couch. Boys are happy b/c they don't have to share a bed for two nights, a kitchenette w/ microwave and frig. Very cool room with wood beams and western decor.
Using Sam's scenic route, we were able to drive up to about 9600 ft through a national forest. We found snow and the kids had a snowball fight in July. After coming down the mountain, we drove for over 90 min without seeing a thing but beautiful scenery - no buildings, no power lines, no towns, NOTHING! It was really remote. Talked to Doug, Sally and Sarah intermittently while going through this area depending on cell service. Had lunch at a beautiful rest area and looked at the wares of Navajo Indians. Matt brought a pretty bracelet for Sadie made of juniper seeds and turquoise.
Dinner at the lodge was absolutely wonderful! Ash had trout, Dave ordered pork chops, I had chicken and Matt ordered chicken alfredo. Gorgeous views like the one I posted today greeted us as we looked out the big windows next to our table. The boys are out fishing now and I will sign off.
