Bryce Canyon National Park

We left Zion National Park this morning exiting through a one mile tunnel built in 1930. It's not wide enough for two way traffic with a motorhome so they have to stop traffic and allow the motorhome to go through down the middle. Three hours later we arrived at Bryce and are dry camping with no hookups and it may snow tonight! We drove our car to see some of the viewpoints. Bryce has hoodoos which are eroded columns of rock on mountains. Most are red and make for fatastic scenery. Tonight we are going to a ranger talk and they will be putting telescopes out side for us to see the stars and stuff.

2nd day in Zion

Today we did a lot of hiking in Zion before it started to rain! Then we went in to town to walk around. It is nice but mostly touristy with lots of gift shops and restaurants. Tomorrow we head for Bryce Canyon National Park. To get there we have to drive our motor home through a 1 mile tunnel that was built in 1930!

Day 3 Zion

We reached Zion National Park in Utah. It has beautiful mountain peaks. They have a shuttle that takes you on a loop to the various sights. We saw a few today and will see the rest tomorrow. We thought we could camp inside the park but the campgrounds were full, which surprised us because it is off season. We are camped at a private park in Springdale, a quaint little town like Mayberry, just outside Zion. The weather was perfect today, sunny and not too hot. We think we will take Mona inside the park tomorrow as long as she promises she won't bother the deer. We understand they can be quite aggressive.

Day 2 Las Vegas

We spent all day in Las Vegas and started off the day at the Liberace museum which contains a beautiful collection of his pianos, cars and wardrobe. We saw the gardens in the Bellagio Hotel then walked way down to the Stratosphere and went up the tower (but passed on the rides). We then rode the monorail back to the Bellagio, where we had parked. There is a Whole Foods market on the south ene of the strip and we picked some vegan ready made dinner and returned to the rv park.

Day 1 RV Trip Oct. 4

We're on our way to Texas to see Steve and Sudi. We will stop on the way to visit Zion, Bryce Canyon and the north rim of the Grand Canyon. Today we had a windy trip to Las Vegas. Mona thought she was going to drive.

Biking Adventures

We see interesting things sometimes on our daily bike rides. First, as we leave our neighborhood on Woodhouse St. we have new neighbors who conduct a business where their driveway always looks like a yard sale. They buy abandoned storage items to resell. They recently brought in a big semi trailer like storage container parked on the side of their driveway. If you look closely you can see where they knocked off the corner of their roof backing it in. We think they have been reported to the city. There is another neighbor on our street who blatantly conduct an Ebay business on their driveway with all kind of vehicles, lumber and trash. We all take pride in our neighborhood and don't appreciate it being trashed like that.

The other day on our bike ride Cindy noticed a small sink hole which is potentially dangerous. A bike tire could get caught in it. Ah...the adventures of bike riding!

San Diego Hardware

San Diego Hardware has a lot of cool things. We were there looking for a decorative handle for our screen door that match the decorative handles on our new roll up garage door. They have a lot of cool plumbing fixtures and as I walked by a toilet the cover went up automatically. I should have checked if it went down automatically.
