Last Sunday and Monday I headed down to Moab, Utah for the Desert Rocks Music Festival. It was really an amazing experience. Some friends invited my girlfriend and I to join them to see a band – Kan’nal – out of Boulder, Colorado.
We all piled into their Winnebago on Sunday afternoon, and we took the 4+ hour drive down to Moab. The event was out in the desert about 13 miles south of Moab at Area BFE. It was a beautiful site, and the weather was great … not too warm. We arrived as one of the concerts had just finished, so we broke out the BBQ and got dinner going. As the sun set (which was incredible) we got our act together and wandered down to watch the Fire Dancers, and then head over to the main stage to see Kan’nal. I was impressed … they rocked!
For those who missed the concert, in June you can go and see Kan’nal at the Salt Lake City Arts Festival. I’m going to make sure to be there … it was an amazing performance.
Monday was the typical return trip … we got some sleep, hung out a bit, and then joined the masses of traffic returning to the Salt Lake City area. It took a while, but was well worth the trip. I’m thinking of going next year … and maybe even contributing to the Desert Rocks event with an outdoor light show … we’ll see!
