Awoke again to frost on the tent. It really does get cold in the desert at night. Luckily we are well outfitted and staying warm. As I type this, we are in town enjoying a meal at the PeaceTree Cafe, a neat little smoothie/coffee/food place on the main strip. Very Moab.
Yesterday we were enticed into a backpacking store with the allure of free filtered water where we filled up our 10 gallon water cooler. I was shocked that amidst the backpacking and rock climbing guidebooks typical of a place like this they had several of Edward Abbey's books! Even at the local Borders back home (R.I.P. Melissa) I could never find these books by my favorite author in stock.
This morning we're heading west again to find and explore a few canyons just south of the confluence of the Green and San Rafael Rivers. Tonight we'll either camp there or head back towards Fruita, CO area. My guess is we'll camp there, which I understand is pretty remote. Just an FYI cell reception will probably be poor so there may not be an update until tomorrow afternoon. Enjoy your nice weather back home.
P.S. I'd like to take a moment to defend Greg's decison to purchase an off-road unicycle. First off, it's kind of badass, and chicks dig a guy who can ride a unicycle. Am I right ladies?
Also it was a killer deal. And I seem to remember from my Officer I class Laslow's Hierarchy of Needs, which clearly states that breathing, food, water, awesome bike gear, sex, and sleep are the basic needs of an avid outdoorsman. It's real, Google it.
