Lower Drinks Campsite #16

I spent my first three nights in Moab at a campsite out Kane Creek Road called "Moonflower Canyon." It was OK, but nothing to write home about. Monday's are always the ideal time to find a new campsite, so I pulled up stakes this morning (literally,of course) and tried for my all time favorite campsite in the Moab area: Lower Drinks Campsite #16. Got it!

The Ritz-Carlton doesn't have a room anywhere in the world to compare with this. Here's the view to the East:

And here's the view to the West:

The bit of water you see is the Colorado River, flowing no more the twenty feet from my tent.

By the way, don't let the #16 fool you. There are actually only five tent sites at Lower Drinks (and no RVs at all). The other numbers are at separate campsites called Middle Drinks and Upper Drinks. Total privacy.

Here's a shot of the campsite itself.
