Nevada to Utah

We arrived in Las Vegas late last night, and spent the night in a hotel near the airport. Today we woke up fairly early, because we still seem to be on Eastern Time. After a nice 8 mile run for me and a relaxing swim in the pool for Nick, we piled into our rental car with all of our stuff and went to the nearby Albertsons. We loaded up on water, Gatorade, and lots of food that does not require refrigeration.

Finally we had lunch and left Las Vegas around 1pm aiming to reach Moab, UT in about 7 hours. The first chunk of the drive lay along I-15, which cuts across a corner of Arizona on its way from Nevada to Utah. We passed many beautiful rock formations--red pillars towering over the highway and multicolored ranges in the distance. We reached Moab, a very touristy town near Arches National Park, around 9pm.
