Trip to Moab: Day 5

On Wednesday, it was time to make our way back across two states worth of loooooooong road. We left Moab about 7:30.  On the way home I wanted to see "Crystal Peak".  Crystal Peak is a weird mountain in the middle of the middle of nowhere.  Seriously, its out there.  A breakdown could mean a very serious situation.  Although we were very prepared for such a catastrophe, it was still a little nerve racking.  Highway 50 is barren enough, and we drove about 40 miles further into the big nothing to find Crystal Peak.  Something I wouldn't have even attempted without my new trusty Garmin GPS.  Linda was not impressed, but I thought it was pretty cool.  The white mountain sticks out like a sore thumb, and it is surrounded by crystal stones of all types.  I thought of Jim and the little brown sack he used to wear around his neck...

This car was one of the first interesting things we came across on the way.  Making sure my VX didn't end up like this was a thought....

We spotted several Pronghorn on the way too....pretty neat, since I have never seen these before.



After some long stretches of dirt road, we made it to Crystal Peak and ate lunch.




CeCe was happy to be out of the truck for a while.


One final shot before we left the white mountain known as Crystal Peak. 


And then another long 6 hours back to Reno...and now I sit back at my desk.
