From St. Louis we'll ride 7.5 hours to our next sleeping stop in Oklahoma City, OK. Waking up in Oklahoma City it should be June 5. No plans for sightseeing yet.
Back on the interstate for another 7.5 hour drive. Arriving in Las Vegas, NM. Yea, who knew there is also one in NM! This is the point we may start to deviate from our schedule based on what we hear from locals and or may want to see.
Leaving NM from the North, we'll arrive and stay in Ouray, CO. 7.5 hour ride. A little Ouray info: Originally established by miners chasing silver and goldin the surrounding mountains, the town at one time boasted more horses and mules than people.Prospectors arrived in the area in 1875. In 1877, William Weston and George Barber found the Gertrude and Una gold veins in Imogene Basin, six miles southeast of Ouray. Climate:Spring is generally cool with early spring often bringing the largest snowfalls; late spring into early summer (mid-May through late June) is mild to warm and is usually the driest time of year. http://www.ouraycolorado.com/
Ouray is 7.5 hours from Moab, UT. Provided we don't get too sidetracked in the Ouray area we should arrive in Moab June 8.
"The town at one time boasted more horses and mules than people" - sounds like my kind of place!
