Our Great American Car Trip - Arches National Park

 


Arches National Park

Today we explored a red rock landscape like no other - Fabulous Arches National Park in Moab, Utah.  It lies atop an old underground salt bed that's responsible for the spires, balanced rocks, arches and surreal landscape.  We loved it!

 We jettisoned beach chairs, umbrellas and a cheap ice chest, added Michele's luggage before heading to Kalamazoo Michigan.  After an overnight stop at a cheap hotel in Beaver Falls, PA we dropped Michele off in Ann Abor before arriving at Marcia & Roy's home. The next morning we followed Marci to her lake house in Decatur .   Restoring vintage automobiles is Roy's avocation. This morning we drove around town in Roy's restored 1930 Packard before visiting Stan and Pam and playing Euchre at their home. The Canadian wildfires are effecting the area - Air quality was smoky yesterday but rain and wind blew that away. Today we drove to South Bend, Indiana to visit the Studebaker Car Museum , where we got to admire Roy's restored 1956 Golden Hawk that he donated to the museum. Also, we checked out the University of Notre Dame.
