Looks pretty . . . . cold! How's retirement working for you, missing work yet?

Sent a post card from the Grand Canyon to the crew at work that said "I hope you are all working long and hard hours."
Other than that, don't miss it at all.

Arches national park today. Had to get in before 7am without a reservation...We parked at the "Windows" at 5:30am . Full moon setting in the west and Dawn creeping in to the east. Magical.

We spent the day chilling at Dead Horse Point State Park where the Colorado River cuts a deep gorge through the Utah plateau.

Re: Cape Man's Dory
We drove past as the lot was packed and today we are heading north (yes north) for two nights at Dinosaur national monument. Have to go east for awhile and through part of Colorado and then back west into Utah to get there. The mountains here make it so "you can't get there from here" a lot! Luckily we are not in a hurry.

Re: Cape Man's Dory
I highlighted part of your post as that is the way is here it is down here. May have to go 10-20 miles out of your way to get where you want to go. You may have to had to go further out there in those wide open spaces. Keep the pics coming they are great!!!!!!cape man wrote: ↑Sun May 07, 2023 9:00 am We drove past as the lot was packed and today we are heading north (yes north) for two nights at Dinosaur national monument.

Just beautiful Cape Man!!! Jeff
Re: Cape Man's Dory
Great pictures Capeman,
I was born and raised in Utah and it is beautiful country. The winters just got to me finally and I moved out. I still try to make 1 or 2 trips to Utah each year as I really miss the beauty. But don't miss the evening mosquitos.
Have a great trip and be safe.
Keep the pictures coming, love them.
