Really nice! You also went by an old set from the show Gunsmoke on Johnson Canyon road just a mile or so in from hwy 89. It is quite dilapidated, but enough structures are there to see a bit. I haven't been there for a few years now. There are a few vids on youtube that show it if you want to see it.

I used to live on Charlie Nelson's Egg Ranch & I remember seeing some wild flash floods! The trail along Mill Creek going underneath US 191 was maybe 6 months old I think, and the trail Moab had just down from the park was fairly new as well. I was on a volunteer crew cleaning up the trail system down there. In some places the mud was horrendously deep! I think under us 191 it was around 2-3' deep in icky red mud.

After one year of use on several hiking and camping trips, my final thought on this is while it is innovative and has some advantages, the price ($34.50 on August 8, 2024) does not justify its purchase. You can make an alcohol stove for free. The price does not give enough value or utility much different from a conventional alcohol stove.

We were your neighbours at the Campground 😄! We arrived right bevor the storm and were just able to put up our tent. We wondered about the lonely tent next to us without a flysheet. We often slept without flysheet, twice we had to put up the rainfly in the middle of the night 😅 It was crazzy to see all the waterfalls coming from the rocks around the Campground. We only saw the damage in moab the next day.

I just read about 2 tourists dying in a flash flood in Utah. Then I see more people standing filming water levels rising. We see tourists running from high ground to low ground. Then they are standing on a bridge which could wash away under their feet. I survived Katrina by seeking highest point in my county, in a fortified building. People who died were drowned in their homes, all storm surge, up to 12 miles inland. Moving water is deadly, 6 inches can sweep an adult off, a foot will carry off a small car. Flash floods are so unpredictable, so fast, yet tourists stand by FILMING what could be their final moments. So unnecessary and silly.

Thanks for posting this. I'd heard about the flash flood. I had been in central Utah at a camping meetup with a few other women. I was thinking about leaving a couple of days early to drive the three hours to Grand Junction to see a relative I hadn't seen in ages. But then, I couldn't bring myself to leave the idyllic location and get on I-70 for the 3 hour drive, so I didn't go after all. Something told me to stay put. Had I gone, I would have then headed over to Moab to make my way back to Arizona. I most likely would have been there during the flood. I'm really grateful I missed it. A flooded tent is a minor inconvenience compared to the fury of raging waters. I have never forgotten the Big Thompson Canyon flood in 1976 in Colorado that claimed many lives. A lot of people were camping in the canyon at the time and couldn't get out.
