Sadly for her, the days of a sleepy little Moab are long over. But if she's been there a long time she is also benefiting from all of that tourist money. I have a buddy who runs a business in Moab and he says his biggest problem is keeping his entry level positions filled. Even the grocery store is now paying $15/hour. Economic times are good in Moab now and it's due almost 100% thanks to the tourism industry. I feel her pain, but this is happening everywhere now as our population continues to increase. It could be worse, she could live in Vernal.
