The words of a gossip are like choice morsels; they go down to a man’s inmost parts. ~ Proverbs 26:22
Due to the heat, we made it a short day today. In the Park by 7:30am, and back home in time for lunch. And since I’m writing this six days after the fact, I have no idea how we spent the remainder of our day. I’ve often wondered how they possibly expect people in the witness box to remember events years ago, when I can’t even remember yesterday without pictures to help me.
We explored the “Windows” section of Arches National Park today, among other things, and by the time we were done, we’d covered this National Park, except for the Devil’s Garden Trail, which we’ll do one day next week when it’s supposed to be much cooler. By much, I mean 10-15⁰. Hey. Every little bit counts around here!
Today’s explorations, included only very short walks. Thank goodness!
Shall we begin?
If they take the time to read them. . .
It’s the little hole on the left that gives it it’s name.
An Arch with a gun turret, get it? : )
I have no idea what’s really going on in this picture. . .
That’s also the area where the Double Arch can be found.
Better get used to looking for him today,
you’re gonna need that observational skill in a bit. : )
the smaller one is actually the North Arch that’s across the way.
Where’d the arch disappear to???
It’s there. It’s just camouflaged. : )
He was bouncing around under the South Arch.
I think the one on the left looks like a keyhole.
And it just seemed like abstract art – nothing distinguishable.
I don’t get it.
away from most of the people. : )
Let’s play “Where’s Blaine”! Remember the “Where’s Waldo” books from the 80’s? There were tons of people at Double Arch, and while I sat and waited for Blaine to go explore and take pictures, I decided I needed a distraction. The following pictures may look identical, but Blaine is in a different spot in each one. Can you find him? Have fun! 😊
Well, you can’t see it in the picture, but it’s there. Trust me.
Time to get back on trail now.
Our last hike was supposed to be a short, flat 2-miler round trip that would take us to see Park Avenue and back. We had good intentions, but the sun was relentless, and we wisely turned around before we got too far along. However, we didn’t miss out on anything except heat exhaustion, because there’s a pull off where you can see it just by taking a few dozen steps. 😊
It really does look like a sheep, doesn’t it? : )
One with really long legs. : )
It’s almost impossible to take a picture that shows this place.
It really does look like a row of high rise buildings.
They were discussing how hot they were when the crawled up out of there.
See how close it is? : )
A pull-off just before we left the Park.
Tomorrow we venture into Utah National Park #5!
