It was another rainy day and cabin fever was setting in. When it seemed like it might stop for a bit, we piled into the car and explored Moab just a little. Clouds were threatening all around, and sure enough, it did start to rain again, lightly.
The clouds looked tinted with red. Are they reflecting the red rock below or is it red dust accumulating in the cloud?
The houses in Moab were not very impressive, but curiosity got the best of us and we opened up the Zillow app on the tablet. The "charming bungalow" below listed at $334,000! It was by no means a fluke or in a prime location, everything was outrageous (as far as I was concerned). Clearly, this is not the place to retire if you would like to have a house.
I would estimate 1700 sq. ft. on a 1/8 acre, so $334,000.00? Why not.
We stopped for a few groceries and the sky opened up! Half of the people in the store had their groceries in hand waiting by the door for the rain to at least slow down before they ventured out. I came in with an umbrella and I was still soaked. Heading south on Hwy 191 the traffic slowed to a crawl. The reason became apparent as a raging torrent of muddy, rocky water swallowed up one of the lanes and flooded stores and businesses along the road.
George, our neighbor, suggested we would find a drive around the LaSal loop a worthwhile venture. Joani researched it and look what she found! Obviously, the Parriott name has some significance in this town - maybe I should start wearing a name tag.
