Moab to Moab in 200 miles Day 5 The Episode in which the boys end up at the Rodeo
Home for a couple of nights
A morning drive to Canyonlands National Park
Islands in The Sky - Drive
Today we decided to stick to the tarmac
Tempting though...
White Rim Canyon
Clinging to the edge
Where Eagles Dare
Another day another diner
Everything you would want an independent diner to be. The right amount of chrome(too much), nothing on the menu without options, white tiles, gingham, sharp lines and neon signage.
What we didn't expect was a healthy hearts options section. On closer inspection this section for the health conscious included in its 5 options the phrases "Smothered with Cheese" And "Deep Fried" twice, though not in the same menu choice- so fair enough.
You guessed on the road again
We drove by the Colardo River for the Fruita Rimeock Rodeo.
Two boys unreasonably excited
Colorado River
But first a stop off at Colarado National Monument(more big rocks)
And onto the Rodeo
Flag Bearing by the Rodeo Queen
More flag waving
The World Famous?..Rodeo Clown
Cowboy and Cowgirl Safety Team

More team lassooing
Barrel racing
Kicking up dust

More Flag Waving
