Merrimack and Monitor

 

These two are called the Merrimack and Monitor for their resemblance to the ironclad warships. Those two ships fought a Civil War naval battle at the mouth of the James River near Hampton Roads, Virginia on March 9, 1862. At this stop Virginia was talking to another traveler and heard horror stories about getting into Canyonlands too. Despite that news V+K plunged ahead. They got to the Visitor Center, got a wee bit of a briefing on what to expect on their visit in a few days, and then drove the 27 or so miles back to Arches.
