I'd spent a bit of time in the Moab area when we lived in SLC, but that was because we wanted to climb Castleton Tower. Other than that, I knew nothing. In 1984 Moab was still a sleepy little town. That fall, I spent a very quiet fortnight getting to know the area in solitude that is no longer available. Spent some time in Arches, Canyonlands/Dead Horse Point, Needles Overlook, Zion, Monument Valley and Havasu Canyon before flying home from Denver for Thanksgiving.
