Once Dennis had his driveshaft taken care of we headed down through Castle Valley.Įventually we were back on 128 heading for Moab. Not far from the sign she found the Dino tracks. While Dennis was working on his jeep the rest of us aired our tires up, Patti took a walk along the trail and found this sign. got under his jeep and pulled the universal joint and tied the shaft up out of the way. We pulled into the parking area and Dennis K. We had our lunch and headed down the road that will take us back to Moab.Įventually we came to the pavement at a large turnout where there was a restroom and a nature trail. He decided to remove the joint and tie the front drive shaft up once we got to the pavement. It turned out that the front universal joint on the front drive shaft had gone bad. If we turn right it will take us through Castle Valley and back to Moab if we turn left it will take us to a place called Polar Mesa.Īs we pulled onto a flat spot we could hear some loud squeaking coming from Dennis K’s jeep. We left the hideout and continued our scenic drive.Įventually we climbed high enough that we entered a zone of pine trees.įrom here we has a superb view if the peaks of the La Sal Mountains.įrom up here we can see into the valley where the ranch is.Īs we climbed higher we encounter some snow on the side of the road. I don’t know who hid here but the place could use a little renovation. We climbed a steep hill and started down the other side through a set of steep switchbacks…Īlong this trail is a place called the Hideout. We turned off this trail and onto the Thompson Canyon trail. We drove along the edge of the ranch enjoying the views. You come out of the canyon a see this large cattle ranch in a high valley. This canyon has some really nice rock formations. On this ride we will cross the creek 28 times. We stopped to air down and then headed into the canyon.
We followed the river for 22 miles to the turnoff for Onion creek. When we got to the intersection of 191 and 128 we turned onto 128 and followed it Northeast along the Colorado River. We gathered at the north end of town and headed north on 191. The views start as you leave Moab and don’t stop.
