Arches National Park and home bound tomorrow

 We set the alarm at 5:30 A.M.. Jumped out of bed, dressed and headed to Arches. Stopped along the way and got a breakfast sandwich at McDonalds at 6. It was a short 7 mile drive to the entrance. Seemed like another 20 or so to get to the parking lot to see the Delicate Arches. A 3 mile "difficult" trail, 1.5 miles each way. We climbed 480 feet in elevation which does not sound like a lot, but it was a lot of rock scrambling to get there. You would not believe how many people had the same idea this morning.

This is Evan and me standing under the arch. Some kind person took our picture around 7:30 this morning.

Walking through Sand Dune Arch. The sand was so fine. We walked between two missive formations and it looked like an oases in between. The sand was cool and soft.

Evan walking between the two rocks.

Walking out and seeing more formations in the foreground.

This is called Balanced Rock. Any wonder? A little scary to me. One day it will fall.

This is a lower point to se the Arch. There were so many people up there. Looking through the binoculars it looked like a bunch of ants on a gumball. 

We spent 6 hours in the park and saw every thing to see. We drove and walked all around. I'd say we saw it all.

I am totally ready for this view. We leave tomorrow morning for home. We should get home by Tuesday. Lord willing. Please be praying for traveling grace.  There were so many ways God blessed us on this trip.

One was I had my purse on the back of the truck and forgot it was there and drove up the Cottonwood Pass one evening. I saw it there when we returned later at the camp. ALL OUR MONEY  and my cards were in there.

Another was we drove over  3,000 mile with our lights all hooked together so our blinkers didn't work. We had to drive back a few miles to an RV place to get them fixed. A guy at a stop light told us about it. The mechanic came out and rewired it FOR FREE! We gave him a big tip for his kindness. 

Please be praying for our long drive home. It will be good to turn onto our lane. However, this has been a wonderful trip and great memories.

Love you all! I'm Gonna get me some real crab when I get home!👍
