day today to get into Moab.\u00a0 We broke camp and continued navigating cross-country across a bunch of slickrock hills.\u00a0 I really like cross-country travel; just finding the best, most efficient course and navigating to where you need to go.\u00a0 It&#8217;s a fun challenge and makes me think while I&#8217;m hiking a lot more than just blindly following a

which was packed with debris from previous flash floods and beaver activity.\u00a0 That made the going really difficult.\u00a0 We initially tried walking down the stream since that was generally clear of brush and shallow, but we quickly discovered why that was a difficult option after Kate had to stick out her hiking pole to help haul me out of some quick sand.\u00a0 You could just be walking along the stream in ankle deep water, and all of the sudden you were up to your knee where the apparent solid stream bed was just a mirage. \u00a0After that, we were more cautious and figured out how to read the stream for quick sand a little better, but it was still not fool-proof and we still ended up with a quick sand surprise occasionally.<\/span><\/p><p><span lang=\"EN\">\u00a0<\/span><span

in a Mustang coupe stopped and offered us a ride.\u00a0 It&#8217;s funny how it&#8217;s never the big spacious vehicles that stop and they had to move quite a bit of stuff around to make us fit but we were glad they stopped and to get in the air-conditioned car.<\/p><p><span style=\"color: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-weight: inherit; text-align: inherit; background-color: var(--pcbg-cl);\">However, our odyssey wasn&#8217;t over.\u00a0 The Mustang wasn&#8217;t going to Moab, it was going the opposite direction.\u00a0 They dropped us off at the visitor center and we figured we could call a taxi and get a ride.\u00a0 However, the taxi service was fully booked and Lyft and Uber didn&#8217;t have any drivers.\u00a0 The hotel wouldn&#8217;t pick us up because they only had one person at the desk, though they suggested we call the sheriff and ask for a ride back.\u00a0 Not willing to try that immediately, we headed to the highway and stuck out of thumbs once again.\u00a0 This was a harder hitch being on a busy road even though we strategically stationed ourselves with a good place for a car to stop and I had the advantage of hitching with a woman.\u00a0 It was probably 20 minutes before the ever-reliable Subaru with a roof rack stopped and gladly offered a ride wherever we wanted to go.\u00a0 We made it to our hotel and went to a smoke house for a big pile of meat, unhealthy sides, and beer of course.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-933456c
