Ridgeway to Moab
Orvis hot springs is clothing optional so they don’t allow any kind of photo taking but it was a real sanctuary. There were many hot spring pools of varying temperatures some of which had small cold waterfalls to cool off. They also had an indoor pool with wall to wall murals. The grounds in between were soft grass and lots of flowers with some bench swings and adirondak chairs. Really wish we had a spot like this in the bay.
After having some breakfast, I headed to the nearest town Ouray for a coffee and a walk about. Very sweet little town enveloped by mountains.
Took about four hours to get to Moab - listened to more of my book, War on Drugs, Adrienne Lenker, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and more Handsome podcast to get me through yet more rain.
Sick of saying this but the drive was beautiful!
Pulled into Moab in torrential downpour. Had to drive through some flash flooding on the roads, but no biggie with the Sub. Sat in the car at the visitors center where there was wifi (view from my car below), made some phone calls, figured out my plan for tomorrow, went through some photos. Then set up my tent, went for an evening walk, and called it a night.
