Journal Entry:
Not a very exciting drive day. Lacked the motivation to drive and had to keep on stopping to recharge. Got to Arches National Park a couple hours before sunset - but it was already dark - very heavy storm clouds. The Campground in the park was already full - which surprised me it being after the high season and a Thursday. The ranger gave me directions to some BLM campsites about ten miles away. On my way it started to dump rain and thunder and lightning. I wimped out and decided to stay in a hotel in Moab. Finding a motel in Moab was difficult - there are dozens of them but they were all full (?!?!). Finally found a room at a very nice hotel - guess tonight is a splurge night. It's no fun staying at a fancy hotel by yourself. Got email from Wolf canceling Vegas. The good news is that now I have a couple extra days to hang out in the Utah parks, the bad news is that I could have hung out another day or two in Colorado.
