Well, we headed out from our rainy campsite this morning for yet another day of fantastic scenery. It doesn't seem possible that every day has different and more beautiful scenery. The morning did start on a lucky note with a mountain bluebird alighting on the rearview mirror as I sat in the van. It was about a foot from my face but on the other side of the glass! The day was good from then on. The ride through the Colorado National Monument was spectacular and we got out often to walk around the overlooks. We then took a back road to Moab where Arches is located (we go tomorrow). At first it was boring prairie/high desert but all of a sudden it was spectacular vistas of high red canyon walls with the Colorado River running beside us. It was stunning and such a surprise. Because the weather is supposed to be awful for the next week, we are changing direction, heading for Bryce, Zion and then Lake Mead where we will stay put for awhile hoping that it won't rain as much there. Then we are off to California.
