Preview and Heat, June 27th

We arrived safely in Moab, Utah yesterday. It was a tense drive on two lane, over a mountain road.  We KNOW it's not the best time of the year to visit the desert, but the last time we were in the southwest, we missed three national/state parks that are high on our list of places to see.  We were only 200 miles away, and decided to make the trip.  Arches National Park, Dead Horse Point State Park, and Canyonlands National Park.  We couldn't wait to start, and took the car for a little drive after we set up.  Here's a preview of the beautiful red rock country surrounding us:

 
And here's a preview of what we can expect temperature wise:
 

In case you can't read this, it says it's 7:33 at night, 80 degrees in the coach, and 106.8 degrees outside!

On another note, we've received some nice "nonreply" anonymous comments on the blog, and because they are nonreply status, we will have to answer here: the trout Rich caught were caught on a lake on the Southern Ute Reservation using an imitation grasshopper fly.  He has not fished any of the rivers yet.  Rich watched an Indian woman fishing using a remote controlled motor boat . . . I think that was rather clever.
