Sunday June 11 & Monday June 12
After camping on some public land, I packed up and drove the final two hours to Moab. I drove directly to Enterprise dropped off the rental car, and then utilized a brand new service in Moab, on-demand public transit! I called their phone number and they picked me up within 10 minutes. They drove me most of the way to the vehicle storage place, and I had to walk the last mile, because they’re not allowed to drive outside of their service area. Still better than trying to hitchhike! I was reunited with my van, and she looked the same as always.
I drove back into downtown Moab, and stopped at the Lazy Lizard hostel for a shower. It was the best $4 I’d spent all week!
After getting some gas for the van and a burrito for me, I hit the road. I made the 6-hour drive in one shot, all the way to my storage unit in Denver. I had to pick up some things for my next few hikes this summer, and also clean out my overflowing PO box, ha!
I was a little behind schedule, so I got right back on the road and started driving towards Oregon. I picked up some Culver’s to go, and made it halfway across Wyoming before stopping to camp for the night.
On Monday, it was just a driving day and I made it to the Idaho/Oregon border.
