Pictures...maybe?

Mike is working on downloading Michaela's pictures of Glacier and Yellowstone.  There is hope.

We are in Moab catching up on laundry, sending out some mail, washed our hair (yoo hoo) and then will probably take our last hike around here before heading to Capitol Reef National Park tomorrow.  It has been so nice to be set up at the campsite for 5 days and not have to mess with rearranging gear.  We have had some nice campfires and even made crispy, tasty burritos over the fire last night.  The wind has died down.  We came back to the campsite the second evening to find our bedding and tent covered with fine, red grit!  Everything had to be shaken out.  We learned to zip the windows shut.

Yesterday we spent the day in Canyonlands National Park.  It is only 30 miles from Arches, so we kept our campsite.  Canyonlands is similar to the Grand Canyon but with canyons much wider and not quite as deep.  The Green River flows on the west side of the park and the Colorado flows on the East, so there are places where you have vistas of both.  There is also a strange dome with a crater in the middle that we hiked to.  The geologists don't really know what caused it, but it is very strange looking...about 2 miles across.  There were lots of BIG rocks to scramble over to get to the viewing points.  More later from further south in Utah!
