We left Bryce Canyon early in the morning and drove east to Moab. Along the way, we passed through some pretty powerful winds and rain. We got to Moab in the afternoon and set up camp at a campsite near town, leaving us enough time to walk around the town before heading out to some friends of friends for dinner. The rains really picked up on our way to their house. After our lovely dinner, we headed back to the campsite and we shocked to find that our tent wasn't where we left it. It turns out our attempts to place rocks on the stakes to keep the tent in place were not enough for the strong winds and our campground neighbors had to rescue our tent from blowing away. The tent was damaged, but we salvaged it - luckily it was our last night of camping! The next day we spent the morning at Arches National Park, but unfortunately couldn't investigate it to its fullest. Just another reason to return to the area.
