5. I missed that one!

But I'm going back up that way again this week - I'll have to ask the rangers where it is.

12. It is a 2 mile or so hike from the parking lot

...and well worth the hike. You see none of it and then blammo! Right at the end of the hike you see it. It is gorgeous (the real one of course! Not mcd!)

7. I recognize my name

but not the reason for the use of it.
Maybe I said how much I love the Arches, and how much I would have loved to get closer to Delicate Arch, which is seeming sorta doubled, but that could be because I sat at my kitchen table for five hours just now talking to one of my life's best friends and the large bottle of wine is empty. That tends to make things look duplicated....

9. Hey Mira, welcome back! :-)

I just felt a bit sheepish about using your picture without asking. :-D

4. OMG!

A vulture sitting on your car window!

(I really have to find a bigger screen when viewing photos)

6. That bird was huge!

He wasn't moving off that sign for anything, either. I took about four shots of him.

8. A gift! to those who have not seen it in person

and a tug at the heart to those who have.
Seeing your photos of The Arches is great because they are a beautiful depiction of what I remember with so much love. It makes me happy you got to go there, that part of the country calls me every day where my response is: Had you called me sooner, I would have been there forever.

The third photo with your wonderful dog CM (I'm not giving her name so she is less likely to be kidnapped) spells out the whole feel of the experience to me.
I'm glad you are traversing what to me is God's Country for sure.

10. I'm glad you enjoyed the pics!

Cleo and I had a good time up there! (You can use her name - she won't come when called anyways. )

A friend just posted this photo on FB from Moab, taken this morning.



I liked the weather better Saturday!

You make me want to take a road trip.
