4/2/18 -We left Capitol Reef heading to Arches NP, UT. Before departing Capitol Reef Wendy & Sue hiked the Hickman Bridge trail while Alan and I took the camper to the quarter car wash. Very dirty camper encrusted with salt from the wind storm in the Salt Lake area. Boy the $35 truck wash price is a deal. What a job getting this thing clean for the 1st time in two months and 9000 miles.

                                            The arch below is the only arch at Bryce Canyon   

                                                        Hiking sights from the trail.

 Along the way we stopped at Goblin Valley State Park to see rock formations which were formed by wind and acid rain. These unusual rock formations are only found here and nowhere else in the world.

                                                Snow capped mountain in the background.

From the Goblins we swung by to check out Barrier Canyon which has pictographs & petroglyphs. Pictographs date back 2000 years and the petroglyphs are a mere 1000 year old. The sites are only 100 or so yards apart 

                                                    Petrolyphs are etched into the stone

Pictographs are painted in blood. I assume and hope animal blood was used.

                                                      Look like extraterrestrials to you??

We arrived in Moab where Arches NP is located and found ourselves in a pretty intense dust storm. Luckily where we are staying is out of the dust storm area.
