Stunning Arches and Windows

Mike was discharged from the emergency room just before 10 pm last night. No definitive diagnosis but most likely just a case of dehydration. We hit Wendy's for a baked potato and chili and then drove back to our campsite and crashed.  It was heavenly sleeping in the tent, listening to the Colorado River rush by and Not being cold.  We were up at dawn for coffee and oatmeal and then spent the morning in Arches National Park, where Mike wore the camelback and sipped water continuously!  We especially enjoyed the primitive trail that took us behind the North and South Windows (for those of you who have been there...like Joe and Mary!).  It gets hot by mid afternoon, so we are hanging out in town for awhile, catching up on email and getting the van gassed up.  Bert, I am looking for a post office as I have a card to send you!!  I hope to get it in the mail today.  Jeannette sent me a text that the funeral was today.  I wish I could have been there to celebrate Joe's life with you.  He will always be remembered fondly in my heart.  We are very happy with our campsite.  It is large and has lots of shade.  We will have a fire tonight and roast potatoes (sounds like we like potatoes, doesn't it?)  We will probably stay put at this site for a few days.  We can see a lot of the area by fanning out from here.
