We drove out of Colorado today and into Utah. When we arrived in Utah, we did our usual stop at the state's Welcome Center to get a new map and any necessary (and not so necessary) information pamphlets. We talked with a nice volunteer-type octogenarian who said, "Oh, I lived in Oregon at one time. Where do you live?" Us - "On the coast." She - "Oh, I never went to the coast." Us - "Where did you live?" She (shyly and certain we had never heard of it) - "Malin."
We continued an interesting conversation and then said goodbye. What an unusual thing to have happen in Utah.
We visited Arches National Park, a beautiful and unique place. The rock formations are fascinating. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

look down on the left. We were coming back, after visiting
several highlighted spots in this part of the park. |

A lot of the rocks have names.
This one's name is Balancing Rock |
 |
| This one's called Three Gossips |
 |
| We even got in a little exercise. |
