Sammelsurium or Simply "Stuff" volume 4

When we arrived in Moab, Utah the other day it seemed like it had the potential to be dog friendly. Well as we just wanted to have a drink we stopped at two bars to ask if we could sit outside and have a drink with the dog.  Well what I got was a "What, No Way Jose" response complete with Health Department this, Health Department that" blah, blah, blah. All I can say is that, people, if you are concerned about the Health Department you might take a good look around the premises before you get inspected. I in no way feel that dogs have a right to sit on every bar's terrace, but simply just say you don't want them. On a positive note, the Peace Tree restaurant in Moab is super dog friendly and Nera spent two meals there on their terrace without incident. They serve great food as well.

Being new to the whole RV park experience, using the facilities has been a learning experience for me. I would just like to say to fellows travelers that signs asking you to keep the bathrooms clean or asking you to clean the dryer filters should be viewed as commands like in the military, not suggestions that you may or may not follow. The lack of consideration for others is nothing short of appalling.

I have a new entry for "Roadside America". It is the "Hole n" the Rock" just outside of Moab, Utah. Interestingly enough they don't write "n" as one would expect but n". Go figure. It has been in business since the early 1940's and the original owner actually sculpted Franklin D. Roosevelt's face into the rock above this business (honestly not sure why) which was originally his home.This place contains quite possibly the largest collection of meaningless tschoscke in the world. The management seems to be particularly fond of Marilyn Monroe as all types of photos, t-shirts, metal signs etc with her image are on sale but I failed to find any connection.  If you're interested, it's open all year! :)
