Tease

Thursday May, 19th

It was drizzling when I woke up and the temperature was in the 40's.  Despite this I really wanted to get out of Moab.  Which I did.  But did not get very far.  Green River is a town 50 miles northwest of Moab.  That's where I ended up after 144 miles of driving.  I passed Green River earlier in the day and continued northwest.  It was cloudy with patches of blue sky.  As I got further north I saw what would be the end of my day.  A wall of thunderstorms.  I drove into sheets of rain and immediately turned around and headed back to Green River, the nearest town with a hotel I didn't have to drive through a thunderstorm to get to.  Damn.  Short day with little progress.
