Did you find the problem eventually? There must be a fuse/breaker bank
somewhere. You'd think the GCFI would blow before the breaker went, but
if you've replaced the outlet you must look further, assuming you did
reset the new breaker too?

That's a nice day! Not flat either. You'll look back and be glad you
did it someday.

Turning into a tourist trap from what I've heard...rich tourists.
Moab isn't like it was before either. We were there about 5-6 years ago
and stayed right in town. Had a great time. When we went through there
this fall it was crazy. There was a jeep gathering going on, so maybe
that had something to do with it. I didn't want to stop there at all
this time. Too busy for me.
