Day 8 Moab, UT

Today we drove to Moab, and went to the northern part of Canyonlands National Park and to Arches National Park. Spending the night in Moab.  There was lots to look at today, and my eyes are tired, so this is going to be short.  There are a lot of people in these parks. Parts of Arches have traffic jams.  I can't imagine how crowded it gets in the summertime when families are on vacation.  Wouldn't want to be here then. Moab is a kinda neat little town though. The colorado River runs through the north end of town. Just downstream in Canyonlands National Park the Colorado and the Green rivers become one big river. Moab has lots of tourist-based businesses because there isn't any other way to make a living here that I can see except maybe mining of some sort. They used to mine Uranium here but I don't think they do that anymore. We had a real meal in a real restaurant this evening. We might even do that again tomorrow...it's that or restock on groceries.  All for now.
