Day 10 - Arches continued...

We got a late start this morning.  Charles has a rough night with some food poisoning from last evening's pizza (loaded with anchovies) followed by a G&T.  Gordon had a wonderful baked Tortellini in a light sauce and water and slept as always like a baby.

After we got moving we grabbed the free breakfast at the Holiday Inn Express (our hotel of choice) and then climbed the mesa to the Arches in the FJ Cruiser around 8:30am.  We spent most of 5 hours photographing everything in site.  Never been to places like these three national parks in Utah where fun landscape photography opportunities are everywhere.  We walked a few miles to several viewing areas in the course of our visit madly clicked along the way.

Returned to the Moab around 2pm and enjoyed a nice bowl of beer and cheese soup and a salad at the Moab Brewery along with a couple of fine lagers.  We then drove back to the hotel after stopping for a milk shake to sooth Charles' stomach.  Charles proceeded to immediately fall asleep. Gordon hit the pool for a couple of hours of cool relaxation.

We anticipate an early start tomorrow headed in the general direction of Salt Lake City.
