Today we put in a LOT of miles. We didnt originally realize how far it is from Kanab to Moab. But the drive was definitely worth it. Jeremy says some people consider that route to be one of the prettiest drives in the world...and I believe it. We went through Bryce Canyon National Park, then on to the Grand Staircase (which was alien looking). After that was Capitol Reef National Park, which I had never even heard of. It was a beautiful place with huge sheer clifs and caves.
The only major disappointmnet of the day came when we stopped in Tropic, UT at the only known place in the universe that sells Jeremy's favorite childhood drink - Orange Bang (yeah, I'd never heard of it either till I met him). Unfortunatley, the folks at the general store had gotten with the times and replaced the Orange Bang dispenser with a cappucino machine. He was very sad.
We rolled into Moab right before sunset and had just enough time to make it out to Arches National Park for the show. Due to some earlier rain, the light was iffy, but he got lucky. Just as we were about to call it a day the light was just right and a rainbow appeared behind some of the formations. We'll try to post the pic tomorrow.
Now off to bed in our snazzy (not) KOA Kamper Kabin. Just love the clever use of K's. More adventure awaits tomorrow.

Orange Bang, whipped drinks made from real orange juice?
