It was gray, and rainy in DC today so I am plunging into the archives for a photograph. Not to mention that I am hooked on The Wire and watching back to back episodes of it, making it difficult for me to gather any motivation to step outside and explore.
This photo is from my trip with the Bopper to Las Vegas last year. Both times we've gone out there we spend a day at a park, and this day was spent at Zion National Park in Utah. I got a $120 speeding ticket on the drive to the park, but it was a very cool spot. Lots of really interesting rock formations, and a feature called Weeping Rock that is an alcove carved into into the stone from constantly running water. The link shows a much better picture of Weeping Rock than anything I was able to capture.
I hear Zion is beautiful but I haven't seen it. On our drive back from the West coast, we had time to visit either Zion or Arches National Park. We chose the latter. Did you have the sensation, like me, that you should enjoy it while you can? It seems like a lot of natural treasures are slowly being eroded by urbanization, so you have to enjoy them while you still can. It's amazing what wind, water, and time can do.
