Moab Diary Day Five: Heading for Moki Dugway

Staying in a hotel last night was a great idea. We cleaned up, ate some good food and had a solid night sleep. But most of all, we skipped out on freezing to death in the 28-degree weather.

This morning we leave Monticello and head down to ride Moki Dugway and the Valley of the Gods. Then off for a long ride through Arizona and back up toward Zion Canyon. We should be camping tonight just south is Zion.

Since it's so cold outside, we are riding a little more carefully and keeping south, closer to the desert and warmer air. This means we will be about a day off schedule. With more than 1,000 miles left to cover we want to make sure we keep the rubber side down.
