Day 6: Arches to Salt Lake City

Dear God did we both need a shower!  We woke up after a hot night—-hard to sleep when you are sweating.  Got an early start and did the hike up to Landscape arch.  We took a couple of side trips over to Tunnel arch and Pine Tree arch.  We were both really too tired to do anything so it was harder than it should have been.  Left the Devil’s Garden and headed out of the park–stopped to view Delicate arch on the way out.  Got on the road to Salt Lake  and the day was already heating up.  There is not much to speak of along the drive to SLC, stopped at a truck stop town called Green River and thought of CCR.  Nothing impressive, not the food or the place,  the people all looked stuck and numb from a life probably spent dreaming of something else.  Drove a winding road to SLC and arrived in the late afternoon heat at our friend Tuckers house.  He welcomed us into a cool house with a shower and some great company.   Tuck and Blake spent the rest of our time in SLC doing the music thing,  Telesa cooked us a long awaited home cooked meal and then she and I hung while the guys had pub night. SLC seems like a pretty cool town, wish it were a little cooler.
