Home at last! We made it to Moab, Utah in southern Utah and spent our first day exploring Arches National Park. This fantastic place has 2000 natural arches which have fascinated people for decades. I call my favorites Elephant Arches and you can see why. 
Next, we took a jet boat ride on the Colorado River, which, by the way, is approaching flood stage, and saw what the cliffs, spires, mesas, arches and walls look like from the water. It was so amazing and was followed by an excellent “Cowboy dinner.”
Today we discovered Canyonlands National Park. This is another incredible place which is best viewed from above. It is the largest park in Utah and hasn’t really all been explored. It features three sections defined by the Colorado River, the Green River and their confluence. We visited Island in the Sky and were amazed by the vast beauty of the place. The scale is so huge and my paltry pictures do the magnificent place no justice.
Tomorrow we will relocate so that we can see Capital Reef National Park. The last time I was there I was opening the car door and caught my brother, Jeff’s finger in the hinged part of the door so instead of seeing the park we rushed the many miles back to Cedar City to the hospital. It was an accident, Jeff! Really!!
Mark and Kathie's Excellent Adventure 
Kathie, we went to Laughlin CO, north of Las Vegas and close to Hoover Dam,(this is also fun)nd then went on a fun side trip to Oatman AZ. This is an old mining town full of donkeys. You can feed them or not, but get out of their way because they roam the town and STORES, it was fun. If thinking of going there look at a map and find the best road to take, we ended up on a 1 hour dusty wilderness road and come to find out there was a freeway (well maybe not a full freeway) that was only about a ten minute trip.Just some suggestions
