Woke up with a start mid dream. Brain must have remembered that we wanted to get up early. Woke Ann up, sent her off into the shower and went back to sleep.
Set off, fuelled and supplied up, heading south at 8am. Made good progress early on, dipping in and out of Idaho as went. State number 13, I think. We seemed to breeze along, no roadworks, no traffic, we watched the scenery gradually start to change. Entered state number 14, Utah.
Stopped for lunch at Subway in Price. The Roffe-Knightley Phenomenon mentioned yesterday rang true as ever, with the shop being empty when we walked in and by the time we had ordered there was a queue of about 15 people.
Decided to refuel before we headed onwards, but unfortunately the power had gone off so we couldn't at any place in the town. Lady in gas station asked us which way we were heading. Next gas was about an hour drive. Car said we had 108 miles left til empty. We decided to carry on. Watched the miles gradually tick away as we drove in barren lands, not a single real village or anything. Eventually we reached two gas stations, both of which were unsurprisingly packed.
Finally reached the B and B in Moab at 4.50pm. Checked in and relaxed for a bit. Headed into town for something to eat. Ended up smelling of garlic again. Walked around shops afterwards. Ann had a go at me because I couldn't remember where I had stayed 16 years ago when last here.
Not looking forward to breakfast as just like the B and B in Niagara it is at a set time around a big table with everyone else. Last time out Ann poured orange juice everywhere in protest. Can't wait to see what she does tomorrow.
