Back from dinner and some photos

| No Comments

Dinner was really good - we ate at a casino so basically the meal was priced for the cost of the food - the casino's make their money off gambling returns and not the hotel services.

Here are a couple of photographs from the last two days:

Arches - Balancing Rock

Arches again - I love the cragginess of the rectangular rock in the mist - this puppy will pop when I get home and work it with Lightroom.

Ray's Tavern in Green River, Utah - a must-stop on the road. Great food and great people.

Bryce Canyon - hoodoos

Bryce Canyon - Natural Arch - gorgeous colors - another job for Lightroom.

Bryce Canyon - It had been snowing yesterday and someone made this little guy. Not feeling to good today...

Bryce Canyon - Agua Valley

 Zion - a remnant of yesterday's precipitation

 Zion - there is a bottleneck in driving from one end to the other. Construction of this tunnel began in 1920 and it was opened on July 4th, 1930 - it was built when cars were a lot smaller. Now, the rangers run relays of larger vehicles through. Here is Beautiful Dreamer and Thunderbunny waiting our turn to head West.
