| Checkerboard Mesa - Zion NP |
By 10pm last night, the sounds of
freedom (jets taking off) secured for the night and we got a reasonable nights
rest. It was HOT and the AC could keep
up but it is noisy when trying to sleep so we changed to fan about 1am when it
was just 85 degrees.
Up about 6 and after breakfast, we
dumped out tanks, topped off the fresh water and headed for the grocery store
and gas station before getting on the road at 9:30.
It was a short 2.5 hours to St. George,
UT where we had intended to stop for the night but since it was so early, we
decided to drive through Zion National Park and spend the night in Kanab, UT
Zion was absolutely beautiful (and
horribly crowded) as we wound our way through switchbacks and steep
grades. The mile long tunnel was tough
on the driver as they had openings every few hundred yards that destroyed my
night vision.
Leaving Zion at the East entrance, it
was a short 17 miles down to Kanab and our campsite for the night. We did our laundry and planned the highlights
for tomorrow.
