Photos added - Arches National Park (Moab, Utah)

Hi Friends and Family! We're safe in Dillon, Montana now and are at a campground we stayed at earlier this month. We got confirmation that we had a spot here only 2 hours before we arrived - it was an act of faith even moreso because of a gun show in town this weekend.

Last night we were at Brigham City; a good KOA find complete with a swimming pool. It didn't matter that the water was cool cuz the air was hot. When we pulled out this morning we hit a fruit stand and bought raspberries, blackberries, peaches, cherries and corn which was picked this morning (first pick of the season - salt & pepper variety... it's not black but it is 2 toned like our Peaches and Cream variety. We'll test it out tonight). Clearly we're not at a local (or BC) market cuz all this cost us less than $20.

I hadn't been able to upload photos of Arches Nat'l Park until now so here you go! If you want to see a photo more clearly just click on it and it will enlarge.

A little education for you first... this is how an arch is formed.





How does this happen?!?



From under the arch.

Ahhh, maybe this is how it happens! With a little help from the tourists! :)

To give you a little perspective as to the size of this thing (called Turret Arch), squint and you'll see some adults standing under the arch.

This one is called Double Arch.





Finally... a picture of us!

Another one from under a arch.

I couldn't resist this shot of the sand. Apparently it had rained for the previous 3 days (was 100 degrees when we were here) so this is the reminder of rain in the sand.
