Well, first off, I have to say that I'm posting from my tent. This is the day and age where even campgrounds have free wifi service. I'll be here for three nights total as I explore the Moab, Arches, and Canyonlands areas of souheastern Utag. It's that part of the world with all those funny shaped red rocks.
Took the scenic route to get here from Orem, where I stayed last night. Central Utah is a high plateau, with jagged ridgelines in all directions, with the occaisional river here and there. It's desert country, but torrential downpours yesterday and today means the ground is actually pretty soft right now (hard to set up a stable camera tripod, for example.)
Got into Moab in time to set up camp then rush back into Arches to take some pictures. I'll be back there all day tomorrow, and I've signed up for a ranger-guided-only hike on Thursday, too (Fiery Furnace area.) Weather looks decent, though a forecast for more rain and thunderstorms tonight and tomorrow means I actually had to put the fly on my tent. Up until now it had been starry skies every night -- overall the weather has been quite good so far on the trip.

I hope you enjoy Bryce Canyon. It was named after Mormon pioneer Ebenezer Bryce, who upon first seeing it somewhat famously remarked, "This'd be one hell of a place to lose a sheep!"
