Into the La Sal mountains

The entire southern half of Utah is gorgeous.  We took a circle drive from  southern Moab, up into the La Sal mountains to find the Pinhook battle site and then back out in the northern end of Moab.  It had been a blustery few days, but we had decided we needed a break from all the red rocked mesas and canyons we had been touring.

Moab down there

The views were gorgeous from everywhere and as we climbed there were many cacti and wildflowers in bloom.  We stopped a lot.  Had a minor emergency when I discovered my SD card on my camera was full.  WHAT?  All this way, recording family history, what the hell?  We found a solution, at the moment I don't remember what that was, I think deleting stuff off the card, because of course the spare cards we usually have stashed were no where to be found.  It was a great day.

Heading down the dirt road to the battle memorial

This is above the Pinhook battle site, you can see the dirt road we took and where it ends is where the memorial signs and burial site were.
