Traffic slowed. The drive into Moab, Utah, as is our m.o. for this trip, was much longer than expected, and far more ass-pucker worthy. Switchbacks down into the Courthouse Wash were slick, and this flatlander stared down the road. We got to our hotel, got our room on the third floor, then two interesting things happened:
1) The hallway filled with sweet marijuana smoke, and
2) A lightning bolt struck all power from Moab, Utah.
We were without power for two hours, and as we unpacked our car, I walked through the hallway trying to loudly subtly announce my presence. "Fifty bucks," I said, "if you're listening. Just a j: fifty bucks." Supply and demand drove the price up, but, unfortunately, not high enough.
Nothing happened. We ate sandwiches from our cooler and waited for the power to come back.
