I had a trouble-free trip west. Left on October 15, and made it to a rest area in the middle of Kansas, where I crashed in my truck. On the 16th I met my old friend Mike Prins in Glenwood Springs, Colorado, and we had a fantastic dinner at a steakhouse called Juicy Lucy's - really outstanding. Pulled into Moab yesterday, the 17th.
Never seen it so busy. Spent a couple hours trying to fing a camping spot - all the campgrounds were full. Finally snagged a site in Moonflower Canyon. The weather is perfect in Moab right now, and all the world is here.
Today I paid a visit to the patron saint of Moab, a petroglyph called "Moab Man."
That's him on the left with the deer antlers and the pendant earrings. I wish I could say I hiked 15 miles into the desert to get this shot, but actually he is right across from the Moab golf course.
Then I paid a visit to Arches National Park. Who says it sucks to get old? For ten bucks I got a senior pass that gets me in to any national park in America. Free. For the rest of my life.
Arches is phenomenal. Unfortunately, it was a terrible day for photography. The sky was like milk. I did get one OK shot on Park Avenue:
Glad you arrived safely! Mom's been worried. Dinner with Mike sounds like fun. Keep the pictures coming!
