A non-Utah arch hunting comment:
I take the family on vacation to Illinois. We stop near Quinter Kansas to photograph a natural arch in the Chalk Pyramid area.
Amusing.
It must be terrible to live in such flat country.

Purpose
"As you journey through life, choose your destination well, but do not hurry there. You will arrive soon enough. Wander the back roads and forgotten paths, keeping your destination in your heart. Seek out new voices, strange sights, and ideas foreign to your own. Such things are riches for the soul. And if upon arrival, you find that your destination is not exactly as you had dreamed, do not be disappointed. Think of all you would have missed but for the journey there, and know that the true worth of your travels lies not in where you come to be at journey’s end, but in who you come to be along the way."
