The day was started driving to Moab and the Arches National
Park. Oh my word, this was a beautiful sight! Miles and miles of beautiful red
rock carved out of the landscape. These rocks were once carved millions of
years ago by water and ice (and erosion) flowing through and around them. There
are more than 2000 documented arches in this park.
We drove through the park for several hours and also hiked
some of the paths to get closer to the arches. I would have to be in much
better shape to live in this area, because I wouldn't be able to resist walking
these paths on a regular basis! While we were there we saw a class of children
doing their art project, drawing the arches. They are so lucky to have this beautiful
area for a classroom for the day.
When we left Arches National Park we headed South again and
we were headed to the Four Corners. This is where four states come together at
one point. (Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona) It is in the middle of an
Indian Reservation and the Native Americans run this attraction. All around the
center point were little craft booths that sold home-made items from the Native Americans.
After leaving the Four Corners we headed west. This road
took us through a very desolate land. It was an Indian Reservation with wide
open fields of nothingness. We drove and drove and drove and finally came upon
a little town with several motels. We went in to one motel to check the
price... $214! We decided to move on down the road further and closer to Grand
Canyon. We did find a motel in Page, AZ for a little less and settled in to
watch the Cubs win the Division Title! What a game!!
The next few days will be spent in this area exploring the
Grand Canyon and Sedona!
