Drove from Pocatello, to Arches National Park
Wednesday, August 16, 2006Good drive today - and because of a phone call from Tom saying “Don’t go to the Dinosaur National Park,” I headed down to the Arches National Park. This was a good call, because I needed all the time I could in ANP.
Not really sure where to go, I went to the Delicate Arch (view area - I didn’t hike up this time.) Then stopped at the Windows arches. Here, I got caught in a decent thunderstorm. I’m thankful I had my Gore-Tex rain coat with me, and that my camera bag has a cover for it. Later in the hotel, I was watching the weather, and looks like the ‘red’ part of the storm went right over. Thankful for answered prayer - I didn’t get hit this time by lightning.
Spent the night in Motel 6, and was able to upload images of the day. I did stay at Moab, which was 2x as expensive as Green River, but I thought it was ok as the other one was 100 miles out of the way. I didn’t want to give up 2 hours traveling either…
