This Week

On Monday we moved the house from Page, AZ to Hatch, UT.  The campground we are in is an alright campground, but the sites are narrow, our hook ups are in the next site over, and the next site is in ours and it appears that the grass has not been cut this year.  But they stay pretty full. 




Then on Tuesday, we toured Zion National Park.  Once again, the beauty of this part of the country just continues to impress both Debby and I.  If we could just get used to the altitude, we would be ok.


















Then on Wed we took the Utah 12 Scenic Byway.  This is  a 124 mile one way trip, plus back home.  It was a 300 + mile day, but it was worth the time and effort.











And today, we toured Bryce Canyon.  This is a must see if in this area.  We managed to get to every view point available via car.  We thought about taking the shuttle, like we did in Zion, but decided to take the truck instead.  We are glad we did!












Tomorrow we move the house again, to Salina, UT.  We will take in Capital Reef National Park while we are there.  Then on to Green River.  Y'all travel safe and I'll type more later.

A Touristy Type of Day

Today, Debby and I drove from Page, AZ to Monument Valley.  This is a beautiful drive as can be attested by a couple of photos we took along the way there.  I have included a picture of the Navaho Mall that Debby went shopping in.




Once we got to Monument Valley, we got to enjoy some of Gods finest art work!  This entire time we have been out west has been one beautiful scene after another.








Once we left Monument Valley, the scenery did not stop.  When we finally got to 4 Corners, we discovered that it was a very unique place to be.  (We do know that this really isn't the exact location as it was based on a survey that turned out to be in error), but it was good to look like we were in 4 states at one time.  We did change time zones several times. (MST & MDT)


We did have an enjoyable day, even though I drove right at 400 miles today.  I'm kind of tired, but I wanted to get this out for y'all.  The drive home was not unremarkable, we had several good sites to see.



It was dark by the time we got home, but it was a fun and enjoyable day.  Tomorrow we are taking a short scenic trail and the Monday, we will be headed to Hatch, UT.
Y'all travel safe and I'll type more later!
