Highway 40 Arch

October 13, 2011Written by Lynn Sessions

I took Thursday off from work so that David and I could take a quick trip to the family cabin north of Vernal, Utah so we could pick up an old Franklin pot-belly stove that was being replaced by a high efficiency wood stove.

On the way out of Vernal, we stopped briefly along the highway to take a few pictures of a class ‘D’ natural arch we called Highway 40 Arch.

I could then justify (in my mind) taking a day off but not going arch hunting in southern Utah.

2011 Trip Reports Highway 40 Arch

"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."
