1. Three days later, I spent the night near a giant mushroom. Believe me, the dawn will reveal it. 😉
 

 
 
2. Here he appears…
 

 
 
3. Fifteen minutes later, the diverging sky makes me think about the brilliance of a lighthouse…
 

 
 
4. Still waiting for VivaLaVida’s door handle to replace the broken one, I did another little journey around Moab… I went to find an arch named Eye of the Wale. And it looks really like one. 😀
 

 
 
5. In the eye…
 

 
 
6. Farther on the trail, the Marching Men, in the Klondike Bluf.
 

 
 
7. I drove that trail in 2011 and it is much more ruff than three years ago, much more than it appears in this image!
 

 
 
8. Another quick getaway the next day in Canyonlands National Park to discover a ruin located under the overhang of a huge cliff … Not shown on maps of the park, this spot is still unspoiled by mass tourism. A fantastic place with a wonderful view of Candelstick Butte.
 

 
 
9. Souvenir picture with Madeleine and Hans who welcomed me at their home like a king. I left Moab the Friday before Christmas, VLV’s handle finally being fixed. (Picture of another picture, sorry for the quality)
 

 
 
10. I then drove upstream the Green River hoping to see Desert Big Horn Sheep which live in cliffs of mesas. Late afternoon light in the entrance of Gray Canyon.
 

 
 
11. The next day it’s really gray over the Gray Canyon. I didn’t see any Big Horn… :-/
 

 
 
12. Returning to the San Rafael Swell, I made a detour to discover a rather unique triple arch. Along the track, when the water meets the bentonite…
 

 
 
13. Natural arabesques of some lichen on sandstone.
 

 
 
14. Here is Colonnade Arch, above the canyon of the Green River.
 

 
 
15. Almost a cathedral, unfortunately without light that evening…
 

 
 
16. While going back to VivaLaVida, I spoted by chance these sandstone stalagmites at nightfall.
 

 
 
The next day, the weather was still very gray, so I took over the direction of the San Rafael Swell to discover petrographs in Dark Dragon Canyon.
 
 
17. Small dune area where snow remains in place.
 

 
 
18. The contrast between orange dunes and white snow is beautiful.
 

 
 
19. I pass close to Goblin Valley and discovered almost similar concretions.
 

 
 
20. Ray of light on the reef of San Rafael Swell.
 

 
 
21. VivaLaVida runs along the spectacular reef.
 

 
 
22. Path Under I-70 ; there is one inch margin with suspensions maximum lowered and tires deflated for trail! 😀
 

 
 
Discovery of petrographs in the next update.
