Red Canyon, Bryce Canyon City, Utah.

---

Well, I was burning daylight on the Paunsaught Plateau and my next camp will be in Arizona. I drove back to Utah 12 and drove Westbound.

It didn't take me long to get to Red Canyon featuring the two arches that Utah 12 passed through. Then I had a short drive to Red Canyon Village where I would go Southbound on US Hwy 89. (Red Canyon Village is not on the Utah State map.) I did purchase some coffee while I was there.

In Orderville they had several rock shops for us tourists. I made my stop at the Orderville Rock Shop; the best rock shop in town.

Then I passed through some small towns on my way to Kanab, Utah where the only good grocery store was before I reached the back-country of Arizona. I passed through Kanab Canyon before reaching Kanab, Utah. (Kanab Canyon gets progressively much larger on its way to the Grand Canyon.)

When I got to Kanab, Utah I found Honey's Market was closed for the day. (Ratz!) Honey's is a Mormon family owned independent grocer, closed on Sundays.

I may have a few days before I leave the back-country; but I have plenty of food and drink in truck to last me.

Now I am off to my "own private camp" on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon.
