After Capitol Reef I had a decision to make – skip some parks and start driving south, or press my luck and go for more. Made some distance calculations with my road atlas (no cell service out here anywhere) and made the call to push onward in my adventures. Only about 100 miles or so … Read more
Cold, windy night in the tent again but wore my snowboarding gear and stayed toasty warm. First day in a while with 8 hours of sleep! Broke down camp and was in the park before 8am but found this wasn’t ideal to photograph the rock formations. Had to wait 30-45 minutes for more light to … Read more
Made it to Capitol Reef but too late – visitor center closed, campgrounds full, and raining a little. Found a tent site at a nearby RV park, little/no cell service and WiFi is awful. Tomorrow visiting the Reef. Only upside? Caught another double rainbow photo (2nd is weak but it’s still there). WHAT DOES IT … Read more
Ended up back in my favorite wilderness shack again last night. Cheap rates, bed, heat, and showers make a very happy and rested camper! Also very happy to be out of Nevada – not my favorite state, but some excellent geological features I wish I could have seen. Maybe some other trip. Woke up early … Read more
Ran into a dilemma this morning of which direction to take next. Each way leads to a path where I miss out on major locations I wanted to see. Ended up taking the safe route and going for a quick day trip to Bryce Canyon, and coming back to my little shack in the RV … Read more
Last few days have been a bit of a downer, but today was everything I could hope to find! After driving the scenic highway from south to east gate at Zion (updated my last post with more photos too), I headed back to the main visitor center and was lucky enough to get a parking … Read more
Finally made it to Zion NP and started by cruising the east scenic highway. So many damn people here! Hard to even find room to stop at pullouts to take pictures. Getting on the shuttle now which is the only way to get to the canyon. Planning on doing some hikes, more photos later! PS … Read more
After the Great Salt Lake my intention was to visit Fifth Water Hot Springs. I did visit the trailhead both yesterday and today, but forgot what day it was (i.e. the weekend) and it was so busy I couldn’t even park. Oh well, so much for skinny dipping with Mormons and college girls. Nearby Diamond … Read more
On my way south through Idaho and Utah it was impossible to miss the Great Salt Lake at Antelope Island State Park. Didn’t stay too long due to rain which is following me for some reason. Local bison herds all along the park loop. Lat = 40.953735 , Long = -112.206815 — Show at Google … Read more
