I had not eaten at a Denny’s for over twenty years. This was our last chance until we hit the next town, which was hours away. We passed up a few eating establishments through town because they lacked enough space for us to easily park. Too bad we couldn’t join them and fit in a hike or two in Arches. With over 20 RV parks and campgrounds, it was clear the population of 5,250 swelled with visitors during the spring and fall seasons. I’ve read many a blog post on Moab and Arches National Monument, but never got the impression the bustling town was more than a gas station and a convenience store. Church, Beehive, Whale? What do you see?Ī search on Wikipedia reveals a myth about how the formation earned its name, in case you are interested. To demonstrate how one perspective can differ from another, look what was behind. This bulbous sandstone formation stood in the middle of a field all by itself. Our route led us through farmland and canyons and one particularly interesting sight. We were just heading toward Sparks, Nevada, and when we got tired, we’d stop. For some reason, I felt a sense of freedom not knowing where we would land when we left Cortez, Colorado, on Tuesday, June 4, 2019. Traveling without confirmed reservations or any idea where we’ll stop makes me nervous.
