Our Walmart overnight here in Grand Junction CO, was wonderful only 2 other RV's here and no trucks. And had a great sleep as well. Much warmer overnight, windows open just perfect. We are ready to hit the road at 8 am just wanna get to Moab only a couple hours away. Nice to get on the road early on a a Sunday morning, no traffic at all, the roads are deserted. Love this kind of travelling.leaving Grand Junction |
yup we in Utah |
we are enjoying it here |
And all those miles we drove tp get here in decent weather was worth it. The scenery around here is absolutely amazing ! Have been reading Gay and Joe's blog for a very long time and they spend so much time in this area exploring in their jeeps, and love the amazing scenery that they have posted. We don't have a Jeep but sure need to explore what we can.
So we are starting out this afternoon to check out only a part of the Arches National Park. So much to see here and the scenery is amazing !
I took way too many pictures today and only did a few hours here this afternoon, another day or two would be great even more if we could hike some of these amazing trails they have. I will try try to cull the pics down a bit, sorry for too many.
We did the park free video to start at the visitor's centre and sure was worthwhile. What a great presentation and history of the Arches. There is over 2,000 arches here and we not even come close to seeing them all, they are amazing as is the whole area. I have always said, go to Floria and see what man made, or come west and see what GOD made. We much prefer the natural beauty of the west.
After enjoying our books for a while was 5 pm time to start supper. Easy one, make a salad and heat up our left over Hamburger helper from the other day.
After supper we enjoyed a warm evening outside until about 7, getting dark and time for Suzie';s show Madame secretary.

We are here where we wanna be for a few days enjoying this amazing area, taken us 10 years to put in our plans and sure glad that we finally got here. Sure was worth the trip.

ReplyDeleteThis is just absolutely amazing scenery.
DeleteIt is a wonderfully magic area. The last time I was there was in 2002. Check your camping prices. They do not agree with the sign in your picture.
ReplyDeleteMagic Indeed it is, love it. Thanks for the correction Barney, the area behind us has designated sites still dry camping that is $10.00.
DeleteThanks for the correction. It would have been far from the first time I saw a sign with incorrect information on it out west.
DeleteI didn't think there was such a thing as to many pictures of Utah!!
ReplyDeleteI don't think so either.
DeleteThe Arches are definitely on our to-do list but just not this year. Great pictures.

DeleteLike many I also follow Good Times Rollin and their wonderful adventures in the area. Since our son moved from Denver we don't travel this way as often. Looking forward to your adventures also, and a little nudge to encourage us to spend more time here. BTW - there's Goblins to the west ...
ReplyDeleteIt is our first time and hopefully not our last. We are watching out for Goblins.
DeleteYes, that is God's backyard alright! Now I'll go back and look at the pictures again...
