Jackass Joes sits at the intersection of SR-191 and Interstate 70. Joe’s is a gas station, convenience store, vendor of Alien Jerky and true twilight zone. Looking in the other direction you can see there’s not much else around. If you’re ever in the area…stop in. It’s worth a look.
The nicest outhouse I’ve ever seen, Potash, UT.Tourist Maximus in action, Arches National Park, UT.New multicultural restrooms, Arches National Park, UT.
One of the standout hikes of the trip was the Tower Bridge Trail in Bryce Canyon National Park. We hiked in snow and mud wearing Yaktrax traction cleats.Hoodoos in the snow, very few people and fast changing weather all contributed to a fantastic day on the trail!The Tower Bridge itself was a little anticlimatic. The journey was the prize.
One of my favorite parts of a road trip is stopping for lunch at a local diner/cafe. There’s road coffee, breakfast all day and friendly staff. This is The Main Street Cafe in Hurricane, Utah.
Just outside Bryce Canyon National Park.The highest elevation and the coldest weather of the roadtrip. It was exciting for us coastal Californians to experience the snowy southwest! Beautiful too!
