Thursday, July 13, 2006 - Arches, Utah After breakfast of cheese grits, we packed up and left Torrey and drove to Moab, Utah. Because Moab is at a lower elevation, the weather is hotter. When we arrived at the campground, the office was closed until 6:00, but a sign on the door told us to set up in RV 5 and return to the office to pay when they opened. When we drove to our site, we found that someone was parked in our site. We decided that they had not checked out yet. We drove over to the side and had lunch while we waited. After lunch, the people were still in our site. We asked them when they were going to leave. They apologized and left immediately. After we settled in our site, we drove into Moab. Bob bought clips for the awning so that we could put our awning down. We also did some grocery shopping. After we had settled in, we drove to the Visitor’s Center in the Arches, where we looked at the exhibits and watched a video about the Arches. We also decided to rent a CD self-guided tour of the Arches. Since it was getting late, we decided to start our tour of the Arches in the morning. We returned to the campground and put up the awning. This campground has electric, water, sewer, internet, and cell phone service, but it is not as pretty as Thousand Lakes Campground in Torrey. There are only a few trees in the campground and the sites are closer together. |
