Arches

Whew! I have been so bad about posting lately. My work is taking over. The blob that ate New York.

We managed to get away to Moab for the weekend, so I'll get back into the routine of posting with some photos of sunny southern Utah.


Here's the Colorado River, looking up the Castle Valley.



We spent both days in Arches National Park. May is the busiest month of the year there, so it was packed. The picnic areas were crammed, so we toodled down this dirt road and ate on the truck tailgate. The National Park Rule applied: get 100 feet from the pavement, and there's NO ONE


Iconic Delicate Arch.

Terrific pictures!! Love the one with the flying hair. That's classic.

However, I kind of feel like I have to moisturize now....

Amrita- I thought of you over the weekend, because there were many, many tourists at Arches from India.

Katherine-
Whenever I go back to the Midwest, I get off the plane and I can almost feel my skin filling like a sponge. Aaahhhh!

Well, car photos are hardly ideal! LOL! And Nate is hilarious to watch. He takes photography very seriously. When he poses the rest of us for group shots and whatnot, people stop to watch him and snicker.

That photo of your daughter with her hair just totally says it all. I'm with you-get off the trail away from all the sheeple and there's a whole other world out there. Congrats on a trip well-earned. Maybe we'll see you out there someday!!!!
