Navaho-Chaco Loop With Rocky Tops Pinball 19Oct19

We pulled into Moab and stayed at an AirBnB after our White Rim experience. The spa and showers were great... the water ran red. On Saturday we awoke refreshed to take on another CO Plateau ride called the Navaho-Chaco Loop - a 17 mile jaunt through slick rock and otherwise. My hardtail was inappropriate gear for the outing and was really outgunned the entire week. While I rolled back to parking after 2/3 of the ride, da boyz made the entire loop and met me after my celebratory ORB. Another great ride but I felt like a pinball. 60% of the cars int he lot were from Colorado - odd except that we were facing early  and October snows and die hard riders know Canyonlands Utah is the place to be till the snow is deep & steep.
