Moab and on to Arches and North Canyonland

Wednesday:  We decided to go into town for breakfast and ate at the Moab Cafe, which was very good!  Phillip decided that we should wash the sand off of our rig before heading out (it didn't do much good). 


We headed straight to Arches National Park and drove around to all sections and high points but no hiking today.






Notice that there are two guys climbing below:




This is the house at a settlement in this area.  I can't imagine living out here in these primitive conditions....it is hot in summer, cold in winter, no trees, dusty....

After Arches we headed directly to the north entrance to CLNP to see the sights and take some pictures. Again, today is just to drive through and see the sights (we did enough hiking yesterday). 








Both parks were beautiful!  After we left the park we found another BLM site, Horse Thief campground. Nice spot but again had only vault toilets. Good thing that I had planned ahead and had boiled eggs so I could make tuna salad for dinner.

It had been warm all day but cooled way down just in time for our shower...another cold shower tonight.....
