Today we woke earlyish and packed our stuff.
We’ve loved Moab.. and whispering oakes we’re we’ve been staing on te La Sal loop.. bit time to move on. 

today we ae leaving Moab an heading west to Duck Creek Village in South western Utah.

First stop on the way out was UMTRA the Uranium Mill Tailings Remedial Action
Turns out that Moab was the center of the uranium boom (pun intended)  that follwed the manhatton project. A geologist name Caharlie steen dicovered the largest hig grade uranium mine in the us.. He nae 100’s of millions of dollars from the min in the early 50s to the early 60s.. then the bottom fell out on the market.. the mine changed hands several times then went out of business , leaving a huge pile of toxic an radioactive waste just a a few hundered meters from teh colorado river. The UMTrA project is digging up all that mining waste and takign ut by train to a safe(r) disposal site a few miles north .. Its a wird legacy that moab doesnt  talka about much,.. but we just had to see it !

the rest of the day we spent crossing the beautiful state of Utah.. the road went through so many types of geology.. it blew our minds !>> 

right on the edge of a small airport.. the backyard of the house actually boradersthe runway !

this is goign to be a nice place to stay !

more tomorrow !
