AM - 8 miles in Green River, UT. I drove here last night and went for a shakeout just as it was getting dark. All the abondoned buildings creeped me out in the dark. This morning's run in the daylight was much less scary, but kind of depressing. I need to look up the history of this place... it feels like a ghost town. I'm guessing at some point there was a lot more action here.
Spent the night at the Robbers Roost Motel, which I'd highly recommend (Yelp agrees). For $34, a clean room, fridge, and fast WiFi. [Note to Fritz, Scott, and Brandon - this is where you want to stay next time you're in Green River!]
The White Wolf (my jeep) and I decided to hit the road for a while. On Friday, I'll rendevous with Andrea and company in Silverton, CO. We rented out Aladdin's Lamp Hut over Labor Day weekend. I can't wait (what a location!) - there are so many amazing hikes in that area. In the meantime, I've got a week to get there and no set plans. I'll hike, maybe tag some mountains once I hit the San Juans, and find cool places to do some easy, scenic runs. I might detour towards the Moab area for a day or two, but the million dollar highway is really calling my name right now. I've also never been to the Black Canyon of the Gunnison, so I'd like to check that out as well.
