Drove through amazing red rock formations from Gooseneck State Park into Moab. It puts Sedona to shame, on a huge scale. Moab is a touristy, but down to earth place, many young people with bikes. Hooked up with electric, which was a life saver, as it was so hot on the 6th here, used our airconditoner (thank you Casita). Couldn't get a camp site at Arches, they fill first thing in the morning. Just as well as it was hot during the day. We hiked about 41/2 miles, some quite strenuous, to Delicate Arch, was worth it. A 6 year old girl ran out ahead of me and made me think of Dylan, he would love it. It was my first hike in many months, and felt good. Arches National Park was formed from salt and weather millions of years ago, and the salt is what formed the arches causeing uphevals. We are eager to get to cooler weather, so may have a long travel day tomorrow. Would love to come back here someday and really explore.

Joe & Gayle,
You're traveling in one of my favorite places - Moab. Our family has hiked the delicate arch trail a couple of times. Very nice picture. Since I grew up in Utah, if you have any questions, give me a holler.

Who are those two "Bandito's" in the picture?
