Ok, I'll take the Sweatshirt - Wednesday, March 30

Yesterday was a bit much for the old knee; it is quite tender and a little swollen. Linda got up and ran with Baka for the last time in Moab. It is windy, but not too bad out there. We haven’t been freezing but have not been able to get our selves to wear shorts for our hikes. Wednesday is shopping day and we plan to hit every little shop in this bustling metropolis.

Of all the things Baka likes best, it’s shopping! He was ready as soon as we got into the Jeep. Our plan, as always, was to find a shady spot to park the Jeep and let Baka stay there while we looked about. We were able to find a place to park on the main street right in the middle of town. Baka was thrilled and immediately went to sleep. Linda and I shopped up one side of the main drag and down the other, stopping only to have a breakfast break at about 10:00 am. Shopping turned out to be more looking then anything. I bought a Slickrock Cap for $10 and Linda got her self a nice Moab sweatshirt. We found a table runner for Raina and at dinner we purchased a couple of glasses from the Moab Brewpub that we are giving to Mike Anderson. I bought a sweatshirt from the pub, like I don't have a million other sweats! That’s the entire shopping spree in a nutshell.

We drove up into Arches and looked at the views before we went back to camp.

Our plan is a 4:00 am wake up followed by a 5:00 am departure. Linda and I got everything ready to go and we went to bed early, hoping to be able to go right to sleep.
