Bah, humbug, all you people with the day off.
It was 27 out when we went to the car. Seattle is not supposed to get that cold. Our mud in the parking area was frozen over.
Whoa! I... I think I'm having a thought. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a thought. Now I'm having a plan. Now I'm having a wiggins.

Oh, Megan, that'll be a great trip.
The only thing is there will be a lot a lot of driving. Those places are not close to each other.
The SO & I really love Moab. It's a great little spot, the park is easy to access and you can choose how much exertion you want to spend. We got a great photo of Double Arch there just in the golden light of sunset. Remember if you're taking sunrise or sunset pictures, don't forget to turn around and take pictures of what's lit by the sun, not just the sun itself.
On reflection, I have not been to most of those parks although the SO and our photography buddy iamdave.com have been, extensively. I know that he really loves Zion, and thinks it worthwhile.
Lodging is a bit difficult as many of the towns neighboring the parks are not large. Allot enough time for driving for meals, or pack a lunch. The SO & iamdave.com recently did Mesa Verde and really enjoyed it. I'll ask them for more feedback tonight.

The real problem is Bryce and Zion, which are only two hours apart, too far to use one as a base. I can't see any way around two nights here, drive a few hours, two nights at the next place, etc. I don't mind changing places like that, but it might be too much moving around for my friends. I love driving. And my father made us do crazy road trips when I was younger (like SLC to SLC in 2 weeks via Calgary, Vancouver, and Victoria!) so I'm used to that.
None of us have seen any of these places except the Grand Canyon.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I could be off, but it's something like that, for sure.

Osteopathic medicine is a branch of medicine based on the premise that the primary role of the physician is to facilitate the body's inherent ability to heal itself.

Osteopaths don't really have the same level of education as MDs. Their philosophy is more holistic, which many people like, but there's some criticism that they're less likely to prescribe medicine or surgery, which can be good or lethal. I would think that being in a practice with an MD would mitigate that.
