Doll House in 1994
In 1994 we wanted to have the BIG adventure!
We planned to go from Moab/Green River to Hans Flat for a permit to visit the Doll House in the Maze District of Canyonlands National Park, camp there and drive on the next day through Hatch Canyon and Poison Spring Canyon to UT 95 and on pavement back to Moab.
Our Vehicle was a 1994 Ford Explorer. No tent, no sleeping bags. The cargo area was intended as the sleeping place.
From Green River to Hans Flat was easy going even for us noobs.

Teapot Rock and a good road to Waterhole Flat.
Orange Cliffs
On the stretch from Waterhole Flat to Teapot Rock we piled up with a truck fom the NPS. They we slow, very slow and I think the driver became nervous with us breathing in his neck.
After a while the truck stopped aside and a female ranger got off the car, walked over and asked for our permit. Voila! Merciful she let us pass! Saved us a lot of time.

The evening was warm. We sat there watched the sun going down had a phantastic starry sky lateron. Romantic! In the middle of the night we liked the cooler temperatures but we both were cold in the early morning. The temperature had fallen to somewhat around 40
