Day 12- Arches To Arches

The first day we actually didn't drive or have to worry about going anywhere. We woke up late and made a breakfast of pancakes on a Coleman stove. Pretty impressive for 3 teenagers with barely any sense of cooking skill. Anyway after breakfast we headed out to Arches National Park to hike up to delicate arch (the famous arch on most Utah license plates). We had a blast climbing the red rock and soaking up the hot desert sun and got some awesome pictures on the way. Delicate Arch was incredible, its a lot bigger in person. On the way, we somehow found a way off the path and wondered there our own way...which turned out to be shorter. There, we climbed and hiked around the arch. later we stopped at sand dune arch, a much smaller arch and inhabited by kids. we left there and explored part of the Fiery Furnace, and maze of rock spires that are supposed to be ranger-lead only so people don't get lost.

That night, while charging his phone, Louie managed to brake the cigarette lighter, therefore all of our electronics, including the radio. It turned out to be a blown fuse, but we blame Louie non the less. We all went to bed very angry at the car, realizing that the rest of the trip we going to be in silence.
