Arches

We headed to Arches in the afternoon.  The park was only open until 7 due to construction.  There were signs at all the parking areas instructing visitors as to the time they must depart that area to be out on time. We made a mad dash from sight to sight.  This is a photo of pine tree arch. It was very hot--104-and it felt like it!  We drank lots of water as we took in all the interesting formations.  Although this park boasts many arches in one area, there were so many fascinating shapes. We had fun just imagining what we thought they were.

The night brought a startling experience. Our campground is right in the city of Moab. We were startled awake by a loud barking/growl and whimpers. It sounded like it was 5 feet from our tent! John went rushing out but did not see anything.  He saw the owner the next day who said the creek that runs next to the campground is protected land and there have been dead deer found there. Coyotes? Other Arizonian wildlife?
