After my last post, we had a quick breakfast at Denny's where we just missed the late night bar crowd, napped in the car for about an 1-1/2 hour, and then the day started. We were up for sunrise in Arches National Park.
Sunrise was great, but our pictures were limited, most likely directly attributed to our feeble mental state. We woke up as the sun rose and the day continued, taking in a few short hikes that promised spectacular views. The only glitch in the day was that there were no campsites available in the park. Stricly by reservation, and we didn't have one. Oh well, on to plan two, which you see implemented in the side bar. This is called a "Primitive Campsite" because there is no running water, but happily, there is a toilet. Gee, the things I'm learning. I should have had a crystal ball when I said that I saw a shower in my future.... It hasn't happened yet.
Not to dwell on unsavory issues, I did forage for food at the local grocery store, and we had a wonderful dinner of cold sandwiches and water. Neither of us is up for much of anything except catching up on sleep. We did verify that the tent will accommodate two people on a queen size air mattress because Fred set that up. The down side is that we don't know if it will hold air through the night. Again, primitive is a word I'm becoming all to familiar with!
Tomorrow is the upper half of Arches with some better photos hopefully,as we should be getting a wonderful, cozy night's sleep!
What DO you do at the camp when the sun goes down????
