National parks of the West

Hey guys, first I have to say sorry for my absence . I am currently on a tour, checking out the US national parks of the west. I landed in Los Angeles, then went to Las Vegas with a rented Jeep Commander (I miss my A6 back home lol). Checked out some hotels there and then went to the middle of nowhere :P. Have been in Zion and Bryce canyon now and must say: impressive. We don't have anything similar in Europe.... Currently in a Best Western just in front of Capitol Reef. Have to see if I can enter the national park tomorrow, most of the roads are closed because of flash floods hehe. Very interesting for a German that has no mountains or anything around :P.

Checking out CV from my EEE PC. The resolution of the screen is only 800*400 so surfing is pretty bad .

Will let you know how Capitol Reef, Arches and Grand Canyon will be . Really excited as I booked a helicopter tour :P. Wish me good luck :P. A local said: It's a hell of a place to loose a cow. lol.

Hendrik

Yup thanks. Currently in Moab. Very nice little town .

Checked out Goblin Valley today and will continue with Arches national park tomorrow. Unfortunately a rock cracked my front-window when going off road... Hope my insurance covers that.
