As we were driving into Moab yesterday, we saw a lot of heavy clouds and had a small bit of hail. Things cleared up in the evening but after we went to bed, the rain started coming down.
Today is raining and completely overcast. Talking with a tour guide, I found that Arches was in a whiteout with blowing snow.
Moab is a sweet little town - for local people who read my blog, it is just like Glacier if Glacier had 7,000 residents. Same nice vibe - very outdoors oriented and lots of cool places to check out. I had some coffee at the Wake & Bake (in Glacier, it's the Wake 'n Bakery)
We are planning to drive the loop through Arches tomorrow - the forecast is not good but there might be some neat geological features looming out of the clouds and mist.
I am thinking of bagging Escalante and heading straight for Bryce and Zion - we need to watch our time with the Blacksmithing conference coming up in less than a week - we are already talking about another trip to this area.
