April 15th to 16th - Moab

April15th - Sun - Moab
Truly nasty weather again today with wind all day. So we packed up all the laundry and went into town to get it done. The RV park only has 2 washers and driers and we had 6 loads so I would have monopolized the machines for half the day. It did not rain until after Terry had barbequed some steaks in the wind.

April 16th - Mon - Moab
Not to always go on about the weather but it does play a large part in the life of people living in an RV where chores don’t take a lot of time!
Actually, it was nice this morning so after I got a haircut we drove a few miles to a tourist attraction called “Hole N’ the Rock”. It was a fun place. In the 30’s, 40’s and 50’s a couple carved into a huge rock to create a diner. Then they continued blasting and drilling into the rock to end up with a 5000 sq. ft. house. We took the short tour of the house and it was quite amazing. The husband died in 1955 and the wife in 1972 so the house has been only a tourist attraction since then. You could not take pictures in the house. It was divided into rooms only by remaining pillars of original rock - no walls except for the bathrooms. Still furnished with original, now antique, items. The whole grounds have fun “stuff” all over and I did get pictures there. Wandered around shops in town for a while and came back to the rig for a late lunch. Just in time - a storm moved through with thunder, hail & rain along with the ever present wind.
