Didn't have to go to AZ to escape the wind afterall, so we explored more of southeast UT. I've been going at least twice per year for nearly a decade and I still keep finding great spots. Highly recommended.
We spend 7 nights in the camper this trip- a record for us. Used the heat 6 nights and still have about 1 night left. Coldest night was low 20's, warmest was low 50's (no heat that night), the rest were in the 20 or 30s. Without further adieu, here are some pics:
So we explored La Sal Mountain Road from Onion Creek northeast of Moab. The trail starts down low- about 4500ft and climbs into the LaSal mountains over 8500. I didn't realize that and got stuck in a 50ft section of 2ft snow left on the trail. So while my wife mildy paniced, I dug and chained up, which didn't work. Two hours of digging and I was still stuck. Eventually, these saviors just happened to come the other way and winched us out. Ironically, the trail ended at dry pavement less than 1/2 a mile later. I was so close! It would have been an 8mile hike to cell phone service though.
