Sometimes I do not listen to Mr. Flower and it gets me in trouble.
As we were enjoying the views of Canyonlands from Island in the Sky visitors’ center , he pointed out a narrow road snaking down into the canyon. “Look at that car going down through there.” he would say as he pointed out a tiny moving speck.
I had paused and wondered, “What’s up with that road?” It never occurred to me there was a plan involved.
I knew I was in trouble when he mounted the Go-pro camera on the dash of the truck.
Yes, folks. There is a video. I am thankful that most of my comments and squealing are not audible.
The road less traveled is Shafer Trail Road.
It zigzags perilously close to open canyon.
It was a thrilling trip down.
It was an adventure. I did get to see the Bighorn Sheep. I did get to see canyon rocks up-close.
I did get to see the Potash pits up close and take photos of potash crystals. (Future post)
I did learn to listen to Mr. Flower’s casual comments…once in a while.

“I wonder where that little road goes?” Ha! I’ve been there and done that. Sometimes it’s a great adventure and other times you wish you’d never asked. Your recent posts make me want to go there!

I have traveled many roads like this out West. They were always thrilling. My husband is an adventurer and took roads that were almost impossible to travel. I am sure you are enjoying your wonderful trip.

I had no choice. I do laugh hysterically when I am scared. There was a lot of commentary as we traveled. The feature photo has me in the side view mirror. I claimed that was for insurance purposes. It really was fun, once I got past the fear.

I am terrified of heights and get woozy on curving roads, so glad you didn’t post the video! 😉

I did not want to watch the video. My husband and son enjoyed it.

I did something similar to this looking for waterfalls in the blue Ridge Mountains with my mother-in-law this summer. It’s amazing what you can survive when there is no opportunity to turn around, lol.
