Today I left Moab and first went to Arches National Park. I didn’t stay long, but I tried to get a few pictures that would look good. Of course, I have to say that you would expect with a name like Arches, that you would find a lot of arches. Perhaps there are a lot more if you go on the trails, but to find one I could see from my car, I had to drive a long ways in. Sorry, no Delicate Arch or Landscape Arch, but hopefully still cool.
Unfortunately, I am having trouble posting pics tonight, so you’ll have to wait.
There were many things along the route today that if I had had more time, I could have gone to see, such as Canyonlands, Mesa Verde, Four Corners, Shiprock, and more. Some I have visited, some not. In New Mexico, I spent most of the time under a thick layer of clouds, but got no rain till the last hour or so of travel. And just outside of Santa Fe, the wind was blowing amazingly hard. I wish I could have got a picture of the dust storm, but it’s hard to drive and take a picture at the same time. I did find a Mormon Battalion monument just outside of Santa Fe, though. I will try again tomorrow to post the pics.
Drive safely, everyone!
