Moab to Phoenix. We stopped at Wilson’s Arch and climbed it. Elliot sat in my lap and asked for a pizza kitten story. Hole in the Rock trading post. Elliot got a rattlesnake mug there that reminded him of the cat mug. Newspaper rock. Edge of the Cedars state park with Indian ruins. Elliot got an Indian knife there. Kayenta Burger King with the code talkers exhibit. Bill and Dora house. Bill already asleep.
