Moab Utah. Wikipedia states “William Pierce, the first postmaster, believing that the biblical Moab and this part of Utah were both “the far country”. However, others believe the name has Paiute origins, referring to the word “moapa” meaning mosquito. Some of the area’s early residents attempted to change the city’s name because in the Christian Bible, Moabites are demeaned as incestuous and idolatrous.” We didn’t see any mosquitoes. Then again, we didn’t see any incest either. Idolatrous … maybe. However, Ruth was a Moabitess and the mother of Obed who is in the genealogy of Jesus … and that’s good news. Time to re-read the book of Ruth … a moving story of love and devotion!

Meanwhile, we DID see friends!

Ah, but I just have a TC … so I’ll pass this first expedition. As we’re now ensconced in an RV park, it could be time to get a little work done.

OK, OK … don’t step outside to enjoy the view …
