We are Wanderers... Some people live their lives deliberately going from place to place. We too spend our work days doing that. But it seems that the best moments in life often happen by chance, unexpected and unplanned.

In this blog, we will try to capture the wonder we have felt when we happened upon the scenes shared here. Beauty and interest are truly where you find them. "Vagando" is the Spanish word for wandering and beautifully captures the feeling of freedom and ease we experience in our mini adventures. We hope you enjoy viewing these images as much as we have enjoyed finding them.

The other side of Arches

The area around Moab is absolutley incredible.  On day two of our little adventure we ventured into areas outside of the national park. From Indian petroglyphs to awe inspiring natural arches, to man made cuts in the rock for train tracks, to skyscraper towers, every turn of the road and every side trail proved to be breath taking.  The pictures below were taken on the road to Potash, and on the road home.  As is often true in the great western mountains, the scale of a particular formation is often difficult to tell in a picture.  The Corona arch shown below is large enough to fly a plane through and the Fisher Towers on the final few shots are more than 1,500 feet of vertical rock formation.  You can't help but think of them as a cathedral or temple -- only larger than the Empire State Building.  Truly on a scale that only God can create.
