Drive to Moab

On July 5th, we decided to take advantage of the fat that we are so close to Moab, UT, Arches National Park and Canyonlands National Park. We packed for a night and went on a "road trip." It was a fairly short drive, only 3 hours and very scenic. There were a few homesteads along the way and 100% of the towns we passed had less than 2 stores ... we kept seeing signs for "open range" and were joking that we should watch for cows ... at least we thought it was funny. Very close to the Utah border we ran across a genuine round up complete with cattle and cowboys. If you can watch the video, the cowboy had to lead our car thought the herd as the cows were completely blocking the road and were being led down the road (I guess to another pasture area). Check out the one black cow trying to get run over by me ... he headed over to get a quick drink as we were trying to pass.

The round up.
