Springtime in Moab

 

Drew had vacation in late April so we went down to do some work on the vacation condo in Moab. 

The weather was chilly and there was a lot of work to do, so we didn’t ride the first day. 

The next day Drew went out for a looooong road bike ride on the La Sal Mtn loop since I had forgotten to pick up his bike from the shop.

It was cold on top of the La Sals

Castle Valley is amazing

Meanwhile, I checked on a monitoring well installed by the Utah Geo Survey.  I helped design this well a few years ago and it was time to collect some data from it.

Details of the well can be found in this publication.  The well flows just a little bit, even though we have tried to seal it between checkups.

That quick check took longer than I thought so I barely had time to get out for a quick ride.

The dessert is especially pretty in bloom.
