Earache Posted July 22 Author Share Posted July 22 While I was away from my bike, three black guys unzipped my tankbag and stole an old protein bar out of the bag. Thieving bastards! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earache Posted July 22 Author Share Posted July 22 It'd be fun to camp out here and hike to some of the formations on the horizon and beyond. But even though it was cloudy, it was still over 100F / 38C. Won't be hiking far wearing bike gear in that kind of heat... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earache Posted July 22 Author Share Posted July 22 Back into Moab for the night and I wandered the streets looking for some place to eat. This place was selected due to the mural on the front. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earache Posted July 22 Author Share Posted July 22 Didn't really want Mexican again, but this place was close to the hotel and was open. Beef burrito this time and a few more Negras. They had a cheese dip that left a lot to be desired and the burrito was kinda lame as well. But the beers were super frosty and I was more interested in them after a hot day on the bike.... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are views of it from some parts of the city during sunset that look like it could be Utah in the distance, I will try to find a pic. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
