(Glenn) We dedicated most of this day to Canyonlands National Park. It was about an hour from Moab to the "Islands in the sky" entrance to the park. It was not as crowded as some other parks ( maybe because today was Sunday or since it is now later in September). The views were impressive as expected. The areas looked like canyons within canyons within canyons. We enjoyed a lecture on the cliff side by a ranger who explained how this area was formed. My favorite area of this park was Mesa Arch which required a small hike to view. One of the photos shows Cathy in front of the arch with the canyon view through the arch. We spent over four hours in the park the move on to visit "Hole N The Rock" south of Moab. Many years ago a miner created a 5000 square foot home in a large rock. It cost about $13 for us to get a 12 minute tour but it was actually worth seeing (but never a second time). It is for sale for 2.19 million dollars if anyone is interested in a nice summer home. Tomorrow we head north toward Salt Lake City but plan on sleeping in Murray, Utah after visiting Big Cottonwood Canyon south of Salt Lake City.
(Cathy) we had a little picnic at the area of the park called Upheavel Dome to get us by until we could get back to Moab. But we backed out of hiking to the Dome. I have given Glenn my cold. Stopped by Dollar General for more cold meds. At dinner Glenn got smoked pecan pie to go. I told him no but he got it anyway and now he is trying to use the pie as a bribe... Hum. I rubbed Patsy's foot cream on his feet, moisturized his dry legs, fixed him a cold Dr Pepper, fixed his alka seltzer!! What more????
I am taking lots of pics for Patsy. I just know she won't make it out to Utah.lol
