Spring break, part 5

 The next stop was Capitol Reef National Park.  

First we stopped at Gifford Homestead where they sell amazing pies and cinnamon rolls.  

After a breakfast of champions,  we hiked up to Cassidy Arch.

Then we drove to a different park of the park...   

and walked through the Narrows

After checking out of our hotel, we saw these Llamas in the parking lot.

 After a couple of days in Moab, Kathy and I drove west to another national park.  On the way, we stopped to check out Goblin Valley state park, which is truly in the middle of nowhere.  

Here I am in three different shades of blue ... plus the blue sky behind me.

 One of my friends came down from SLC for her first visit to Moab, so I took her to the Arches.

 Next stop was to Moab to visit my parents.  My first day there, a nice stranger that my mom knows took me on a hike to a new place.  when she told me she was taking me to Corona Arch, I told my parents where we were going but then I thought, "Did I make that up?  Is it really called Corona or do I just have corona on my mind because of the virus?"  But it really is called Corona Arch.

This is it
