From Mesquite we headed across Nevada, Arizona, and into Utah to Zion National Park - another beautiful campground with majestic scenery from our campsite and in the park. We hiked Hidden Canyon - even with chains on the side of the trail - dropoffs weren't like Angel's Landing though - and biked the Pa'rus trail in the park - had lots of energy that day. The Virgin River was ROARING - a little bit dirty with the 5000 tons of silt it removes every day! Had a delicious dinner at Parallel 88 - enjoyed sunset on the Watchman Tower with the horse grazing below. Next day we took Ernie to Bryce to hike from Sunrise to Sunset. Took lots of pictures of the Hoodoos from the trails above. Rode thru Zion's tunnel and had a very ... read more

What Beauty we have in this country! We just spent 4 nights camping in the Grand Canyon. We had beautiful campsites, hiked a bit of Bright Angel and Kaibab (about 1 mile down), saw sunset at Powell Point, walked the Trail of Time showing the geology of the canyon from 50 yrs to 1,900 million years (yes, that's a billion +!), had examples of rocks from each layer to see and touch, had lunch overlooking the canyon in El Tovar lounge, and ended with Sunrise Easter Service at Mather Point with the sunrising behind the cross! A perfect way to end a perfect stay. Our friends from church, Doug and Judy were there and we ended our days with them and meet them on the trails. Our friends from skiing, Chris, Rich, and Hage were there ... read more

Hi All - Sunrise on Myrtle Beach - something we don't often see. Then to Columbus GA to pick up our camper on Friday, April 15. Got all of the details and hope we know how to disconnect the hitch - I think Doug will have to give us a crash course at the Grand Canyon. Then off to Cordova, AL dodging multiple tornados coming from all directions - last time we went thru with a camper we drove thru a hurricane! Then we packed the camper in torrents of rain - NOT GREAT FOR THE FIRST DAY! Today, the weather cleared and it was really warm in Memphis - 51! But we drove into warm weather and camped with blue skies and warmer weather! Getting a few things organized and packed into camper. On to ... read more
