For a split second, i thought the subject line was a euphemism about commiserating over hemorrhoid problems for some reason… yeah, i have a strange mind.

That boulder inscription from '34 is a bit of a dilemma.
Less than 50 years old, it's graffiti & vandalism.
More than 100 years old, it's a treasured historic artefact that should not be disturbed.
Have the NPS clarified where the cutoff is?

Massive South Arch of the Twin Arches at Big South Fork NRRA.

Think the boulders in the foreground are about as big as my Toyota.
Well, the Corolla, not the Tundra…

That's not an arch. THIS is an arch. I am in this image for scale (I'm holding a banana, but you can't see it).

Angel Arch, Canyonlands.

Please…that little thing? Google says it has a 120ft. span. Shoot, I visited one more than twice that size three weeks earlier :p

Angel Arch is cooler, and your pic has boulders, so I guess you win, though.

Hey, you like arches?
A ranger at Pickett State Park in TN was telling me the state just acquired property that would give them previously denied access to Pogue Creek Canyon State Natural Area. They have a lot of work to do for hikers to get past cliffs that otherwise have to be rappelled, but when I asked if there were a lot of arches, he stage whispered, "HUNDREDS". He also showed me on a topo where there's a waterfall from a stream flowing out of a cave then going under an arch. Can't wait to check it out!
I haven't had time to explore all of Pickett State Park, but they have a nice natural bridge right off the road, and the main attraction is Arch Lake, where an arch forms a bridge to an island. Pretty cool…
From the island:

Which arch is your second one?
The thing that surprised me about Angel Arch is that it does really look like an Angel. Unfortunately it also looks like somebody looking the other way, in towards the arch, hugging a large pillow – which I cannot now unsee.

Ralph, that's Kolob Arch in Kolob Canyons, Zion NP. Not so dramatic looking with that solid cliff behind it, but it's the second longest arch in the world at(if I remember right) 287ft.
I don't know what I was thinking, but I didn't even see the angel until you mentioned it, and then it was plain as day. That's awesome!

Did you spot ME in the picture? I'm harder to see than the angel, but I wasn't kidding – I'm really there.
