Day Nine
Hi All,
Ok I'm a little late on getting this on out but there is a good reason. We were late getting out of Arches National Park where we had to walk miles to get these photos. I know you all think we drive up and take the picture..WRONG ! Sometimes we have to walk great distances to obtain the right shot. This is very hard for this fat old man and my beautiful assistant that has bad knees. Anyhow we then had to drive to Green River, Utah to find a place to hole up for the night. We found a Comfort Inn that only had 1 room left so we took it. We walked in and saw this in the corner.

After walking many miles all day this looked pretty inviting.
Should I work on the computer or soak in this with my beautiful assistant that has bad knees.
Now you understand why there was no choice.

Ok on with the show.

Willson's Arch

This is just before you get to Arches National Park.

This is called the Looking Glass and that is little old me standing up there.

Entering Archers National Park

I'll bet you will never guess what they call this one.
Balancing Rock
The rock on top is over 55ft high and weighs over 35,000 TONS

This one is called the North South Window and yep that is my beautiful assistant that has bad knees.

Here she is again at Keyhole Rock
 

And here I am in Double Arch.

Delicate Arch about 2 miles away.

This is just a few arches in this park. If any of you ever get a chance
to visit this park, I highly recommend this place.

This must be the best time to go also. The weather is great and no
crowds.
 

Take Care,
