We decided on a late start leaving Moab.  Before we left, Grammie went on a shopping vacation.  First was at the Desert Thread.  She said that it was one of the best yarn shops she has ever visited...and they even had some Peace Fleece yarn from Maine.  Next was the It's Sew Moab shop.  Not quite as exciting as the first shop but enough to keep Grammie happy and bring the vacation to a halt.

On the way south towards Monticello, the Canyonlands has an eastern entrance and we decided to see the rest of the National Park.
Working our way down the road we happened to see a hand painted sign on a rock and turned in to see.

 The hole in the rock turned out to be a hole in the lower part of the rock that has been covered over with a storefront.  More space behind a wall became the home which was available as a tour for $6.50.  Sorry, we didn't bite, besides no pictures allowed.

Finally on the way to the Canyonlands...Wilson's Arch

These formations will eventually become what are called needles.

More future needles.

Grammie blending in very well.

Canyonland Needles

Grampy is fair play too!

These are called Mushrooms in Canyonland lingo.

Now add the Fins, the long narrow rock outcroppings, you have all 3..Needles, Mushrooms and Fins.

We turned on the TV at the Inn and the channel info indicated Analog.  Luckily just a minute down the street during Tom's evening walk,  the source was found.  Incoming signal.

Outgoing signal to the town.

Tomorrow, headed east to Ridgway, CO
