Away From the Scene of the Crime

From the luxurious Super 8 we headed to Moab. We stopped first at the scene of the crime to see if the horrible thieves had discarded any of our less valuable belongings on the side of the road. Our search was fruitless and only disappointed us more. The dog that was supposed to bark to warn the owners of trespassers did not even make a peep while we walked all around the yard. We drove through the sketchy neighborhood but with empty hands we had to be on our way to Moab. Our first stop was the Verizon store because we I needed a new charger and brad needed a whole new phone. We worked all that out and figured we should check out the famous little town of Moab, Utah. We went to dinner at the local brewpub and had Nachos, which I have been craving since the nachos we had in New Orleans. Since our ipods were stolen we have the choice of the four random CD’s that are in our car. John Mayer live in LA, Dave Matthews Band Everyday and a random Peter Paul and Mary mix, and of course the Andy and Jessica Experience which is probably the best one! We are already bored with these so we began to make up songs and had a little sing a long in the car. We sang about the changing landscape and the animals we had seen. We sang made up songs about the things that have been happening to us. This was actually fun. We were able to walk around the quaint shops downtown. The coolest part about the downtown shops was some of them had misting water falling from the awning. With the Utah heat that was the best thing I have seen in Utah so far. We made it to Dead Horse Point, which is where we had reserved a spot for the previous night and tonight. Once we got to our spot we noticed it was occupied. Well, Dead Horse Point had taken it upon themselves to give our reserved spot away. They had given it away the previous night. I could not believe that because we did not show up by night on the first night of our reservation they gave it away. We had already paid for the spot so I was under the impression that it should be empty unless we were there to occupy it. The ranger said she thought someone called to cancel the reservation, which was a complete fabrication. Luckily there was another empty unreserved spot that we could have because after the ordeal we had been through the last thing I wanted to do was worry about whether our reservation was held. We were able to set up our tent and go to sleep so that is just what we did.
