Crossing into Utah we soon got off the Interstate again and headed for Arches National Park via Route 128. We spotted a few old trailers passing through Cisco, but everyone in the family agreed that it didn't look like someplace we were supposed to be. (According to our kids we've found ourselves in several places that don't look like someplace we should be lately). According to Wikipedia, Cisco is a ghost town in which scenes for Thelma and Louise and a few other movies were shot.
Once we were a bit further south the scenery really began to change and it was obvious we were someplace unlike anywhere we have been before. If you have the option to drive south on route 128, it's worth it and its an easy drive with a trailer in tow. You might also consider camping at one of the first-come first-served BLM campsites along this road. After a number of stops for sightseeing along the Colorado River we arrived in Moab and entered the National Park. Devils Garden campground is at the end of the scenic drive so you get to see a lot just in getting to the campsite. The campground itself was minimal, but it's just spectacular being there and it puts you in the middle of everything. We didn't see any other vintage trailers, but the Tab trailer on the site across the road looked right at home with its orange trim. Oh.. and yes Utah in mid July is hot, 101 F on the thermometer had all of us drinking more water each day than we thought possible.
