I am going to spare myself the frustration of trying to post pictures today but I will let you know that the visit to Zion National Park was wonderful. The weather was in the mid eighties and the sunshine made for a resplendent display of the many colors on display in the park. The day ended with rain as I was headed out of the park and down to the gas station (a fifteen mile ride) to tank up and get some beer. Camp was soggy as was I but dinner was good and hot. I was VERY disappointed with the performance of my new camera and that together with the damp put me in a rather foul mood at the end of the day. A good night's sleep took care of that and this morning I will pack up my sand covered tent (it is amazing how sand gets into EVERYTHING) and hope that it does not rain too much as I ride out through south and central Colorado to Colorado Springs which will serve as the starting point for the trek across the prairies on Thursday.
All in all it has been a great trip and I will work on getting all the photos and stories on here over the weekend. I have met some cool folks and seen a lot of wonderful things on this trip and as it draws to a close I am looking forward to the next one.
I do have to say it is really cool to be in my tent wrapped in my sleeping bag on a fifty degree morning, in my tent listening to the birds summon the sun for the dawn of a new day.
I tried to load a picture but I think I choked the server here!

Brother Bongo,
ReplyDeleteAh, the cool refreshing and damp mornings of a camp-out. . . nothing like it !! Woo Hoo!! Bummer to hear the new camera isn't up to par.
FYI, there is a get together at la casa de Super next weekend and you have been asked to attend. Maybe we can put together a small "tasting" as part of the event. Getting all the old team together.
Drive safe and enjoy the ride my friend
The Rev.
