Day 58
The tourist info lady said the best time to visit Arches National Park is 6 to 10 am due to the heat. Well not being one to get up at 5 am, we set the alarm for 6:30. At the park at 7:40 and start our visit. Many arches are only short hikes from the road. First set are the North and South Windows and the Turret Arch. Look closely at the photo of the Turret Arch. That is not a bug in the opening but yours truly. The next photo is me taking a picture of Rosemary (although I zoomed in on her) after she just took the “bug shot”. Arches was lots of fun, lots of climbing on relatively smooth rocks. By the time we hiked to the Pine Arch, temp was already triple digits and we had had enough. Called it a day at 12:15 pm. Back to the coach for lunch and both a/c’s still running and coach is cool. During lunch, lost the front a/c. Went tot the lone optical place to fix the earpiece on Rosemary’s glasses but closed weekends. Went to the 2 barber shops in town as it has been over 2 months since my last haircut, closed on weekends. Hung out at the tourist info center to use wifi and upload photos. Then to coffee shop for gelato and uploaded more photos. Supper at Singha Thai. Back to coach in evening and temp is ok as we have a very shaded lot and back a/c did well. Tomorrow we depart the desert and hopefully find cooler climes in Colorado.
