The Adventures of Sock Monkey, Odus, and everyone else who comes along Volume #10

   Basically, my vacation with Sock Monkey is drawing to an end, so I will give you the stats of the whole trip. 

Total miles: 1715 mi. (One thousand seven hundred fifteen! That's a lot!)

Total time: 10 days and 12-ish hours

High point: When I played in the waters of the Virgin River in Zion NP or when I went on the Jeep tour in Monument Valley

Low point: Umm...honestly? Didn't have any low points. None. Zip. Zero. Nada. Goose eggs.

Annoying point: When I stepped in the underwater pothole (still irks me!)

Best meal: Really? Umm...the lunch that I ate in Mesa Verde in the car (it was two boiled eggs and two pieces of bread with butter)

Hottest part: The hike to Delicate Arch (felt like hiking on the sun!) 

Coldest part: The drive to Chapin Mesa Archeology Museum (driving through a cloud! Seriously!)

Souvenirs: A stone arrowhead necklace, a ironwooden owl, a souvenir coin, some hiking stick tokens, some postcards, and some pins

Weirdest part: When I met that kid from my school in my class (yeah. My status: AWKWARD!) 

Most sock monkey-ish moment: Everyday. Every time. All the time. 25 hours a day, 8 days a week

Driest moment: The hike back from Delicate Arch with no water

Wettest moment: When I stepped in the underwater pothole (again) 

And that concludes the adventures of Sock Monkey, Odus, and everyone else who comes along! Back to the regular posts, now! Thanks for reading, folks!

  1. it was a great vacation. I love every park. I enjoyed the hike we did, the Junior ranger badge we earned, the laughing we left at the narrow canyon, the sweat we dropped at Delicate arch, the pictures we took at Canyonlands, the trips to restroom, the mulberries we picked and ate.... thank you. let us do again soon.
