Friends and family, we left the Needles District of Cayonlands National Park yesterday. We hated to leave, but at the same time, after six days and 30 miles of hiking we felt it was time. Plus, we know there is more to see in Utah.
I've put 30 of our best Needles District photos on Picasa. You can view them here. We of course have lots of stories from Canyonlands, but we wanted you to see the photos right away. More postings to come.
Meanwhile, we're now in Moab, restocking the fridge, cleaning our clothes, and planning our next move. Moab is an interesting place--not at all what we thought it would be, though we tried to keep our preconceived notions at bay. Nevertheless, we did have expectations, shaped mostly, I think, by Colorado mountain towns. And that Moab isn't, in good and bad ways. More about that later.
Tomorrow, we hope to find a BLM campsite just outside of town. Once again we'll need some Fowles luck--these sites are close to both Arches NP and Canyonlands Island in the Sky District, plus they are on a scenic stretch of the Colorado River. We'll let you know how it turns out. Missing you all.
