Alright folks, it's time to revisit the SouthWest!

Day 1
So our first day of the trip was a long drive. We drove nearly to Salt Lake City. We drove a full 10 hours (as far as the bus could go in one day) and ended up staying in a KOA in Pocatello, Utah.... or perhaps Idaho. I'll have to check on that. That night we played a ball tossing game that forced us to learn who everyone was. We were also forced into a huge group hug (which was alright in retrospect, it was those group hugs when no one had showered in 5 days that were nasty). That night I met everyone, but the next day I forgot a lot of names.... but I learned them quickly again. - no pictures taken - drove through Montana, Idaho. Oh and Pocatello is Idaho still.

Day 2
Early morning departure, drove to Arches National Park near Moab, Utah. :) On the drive that day we stopped at the Green River (which meets up with the Colorado River) and looked around at the J.W. Powell Museum for a while. It was our introdcution to the Colorado River... which we would be following for most of the rest of the trip. We discussed how the Green River and Colorado River join to provide water for the Upper Colorado River and how the Colorado River is over subscribed, leaving not even a trickle that reaches the ocean. That day we stopped at the info centre at Arches NP, and learned about the park and the "rules" of the park.
