Nice report, photo essay!  Coincidently, We were in the area at the same
time & did exactly the same mileage, 930 miles RT, in my Westy from SLC to
Moab, then to Page, AZ, then back to SLC, on business, but had mtn bike, gr.
Pyrenees w/ moi.

Put VW alloys on Westy the day before I left after loosing 2nd OG hubcap in
1 month & coincidently got over 20 mpg going 65-70 mph when I could! Never
got that mpg before & nothing else was different.  WTF?

The whole of S. Utah/N. AZ. is green & awash in flowers, etc. as your essay
demonstrated.

Thanks for the report.
