Thurs, Oct. 25th, the moon was almost full so Rick grabbed his camera and stepped outside and shot the moonrise over the cliffs from our front yard. The moon was so bright, you could hardly see the stars that are normally brilliant.
He then got in the car and drove to Fisher Towers and took more pictures of the sunset. This is only about a 20 minute drive from our home so will probably do this frequently when we think it might be worth the shot. There are a couple of really nice places along the road to pull off for taking pictures. Some day we will actually go up to the Towers and take pictures.
Friday, Oct. 26th, it looked like we might have another great sunset, so we both grabbed camers and drove into Arches National Park. Again, this is only about a 30 minute drive from our home. The is a shot of Turret Arch taken from a pullout near the Cove of Caves.
These are the Cove of Caves. This was the first time we had ever really stopped here and taken pictures. We usually go onto the Windows area, but were glad we shot here for a change. For one thing, we were the only ones here!
Sat. afternoon, Oct 27th, after we had spent the morning cleaning the house, we decided to do some 4-wheeling. We drove back into Arches and took the road to Tower Arch. The books said it was a moderate drive for a high clearance 4-wheel drive. Since this was our first time, it was a bit of a challange (in other words Eileen scared-RW), but we enjoyed it and Tower Arch (shown left here) was worth it. We had never seen it before. The road usually can go on to Balanced Rock, but since the floods in August, the road is closed so we had to turn around and come back the way we came. Luckily, we never met anyone going either way as there were few places you could have passed another vehicle.

Did you take any pictures of the FJ four-wheelin'?
There really wasn't anyplace to get out on the 4-wheeling spots without me then having to walk them. Maybe next time. I did take one of the beginning of the road but you can't tell much so didn't post it.
